Forbes China has officially released its 2026 List of 100 Most Influential Chinese. Zhao Yue, Founder, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of SEER Robotics (0610.HK), has been named to the list under the "Value Creators" category.

Now in its sixth consecutive year, the Forbes China ranking recognizes Chinese individuals who drive innovation and transformation across global technology, business and social development, organized through three categories: Value Creators, Trend Explorers and Industry Reshapers. The Value Creators category focuses on fields such as cutting-edge technology and globalized services, honoring leading figures who drive corporate growth through technological innovation and create long-term value through business practice.

This year's honorees also include tennis player Zheng Qinwen, named to the list for the third consecutive year, and table tennis player Fan Zhendong, who makes his first appearance. Representatives from the AI and robotics sectors include the founders of MiniMax and Moonshot AI and the co-founder of AGIBOT. Spanning embodied intelligence, the infrastructure layer and the application layer, the selections reflect a structural shift in global technology priorities.

Zhao Yue's selection recognizes his long-standing dedication to the robotics field. It also underscores the value delivered by SEER Robotics, which, with the Robot Brain at its core, drives innovation in foundational embodied intelligence technologies and their industrial deployment — reflecting the efforts of Chinese robotics companies to pursue continuous innovation in core control and advance toward large-scale application.


Starting from Real-World Scenarios: Exploring the Frontiers of Robot Brain Innovation

A graduate of Zhejiang University, Zhao Yue began working with robotics during his studies, when he led a team to the world championship in the Small Size League at the RoboCup robot soccer competition. He has since focused his research and entrepreneurial work on robot control and intelligence. In 2020, he founded SEER Robotics, leading the company to pursue independent research and development of core robotics hardware and software while continuing to deepen its expertise in robot control technologies.

In Zhao Yue's view, the growth of the robotics industry requires not only a broad range of robot bodies, but more importantly, the underlying capabilities that support the development, operation and collaboration of different robots. Pursuing this direction, SEER Robotics has built a product and technology system centered on the "Robot Brain." The Robot Brain is an integrated three-in-one system comprising the Model, Cerebellum and Nervous System, providing unified support for robots' perception and understanding, decision-making and execution, and hardware-software coordination.


From Technological Innovation to Large-Scale Deployment: Building Embodied Infrastructure

Under Zhao Yue's leadership, SEER Robotics has built an open robotics platform anchored by the Robot Brain, providing customers with one-stop solutions covering the development, acquisition and use of intelligent robots.

Through sustained technological accumulation and market expansion, SEER Robotics ranked first worldwide in intelligent robot controller sales for three consecutive years from 2023 to 2025. On June 24, 2026, the company officially listed on the Main Board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, becoming the first "Robot Brain" stock on the Hong Kong market and bringing the core technologies and industrial value of the Robot Brain to greater attention in capital markets.

By the end of 2025, more than 50,000 robots equipped with the SEER Robot Brain had been cumulatively deployed across a wide range of robot bodies, task types and application environments. As these robots continue to perform real tasks, real-world operational data flows back — with customer authorization and in compliance with data regulations — providing real-robot data to support model training, optimization and iteration. This has gradually formed a real-robot data flywheel of "deployment – data feedback – closed-loop training – model iteration – expanded deployment," enabling the Robot Brain to evolve continuously in real applications.

This honor recognizes the long-term commitment of Zhao Yue and SEER Robotics to core technology innovation and to advancing the embodied intelligence industry. It also reflects the company's continued exploration of the Robot Brain and the industrialization of embodied intelligence.

Going forward, SEER Robotics will continue to center its work on the Robot Brain, building the foundational capabilities of real-world intelligent systems and advancing embodied intelligence from technological exploration toward broader application in real-world scenarios.
