ACE ROBOTICS to Open-Source Kairos 3.0 World Model and Unveil World-Leading Technologies and Products on December 18 SenseTime’s Wang Xiaogang Appointed as Chairman of ACE ROBOTICS

SHANGHAI (DECEMBER 4, 2025) -- ACE ROBOTICS, a pioneer in robotics and embodied AI, will unveil a series of word-leading technologies and products on December 18, and release Kairos 3.0, China’s first open-source world model already adopted in commercial applications. The company aims to collaborate with industry partners to build an autonomous, open, and cooperative innovation ecosystem. Wang Xiaogang, Co-founder and Executive Director of SenseTime, has taken up the role as Chairman of ACE ROBOTICS.

The embodied AI industry is entering a pivotal stage with explosive technology breakthroughs and paradigm shifts, and the market demand for an Embodied Super Brain is reaching an inflection point. Facing the uncertainty in technology direction and the urgency for real-world deployment, the key to win and seize new opportunities lies in the sustained foundational innovation capabilities and deep understanding of embodied intelligence scenarios, which are exactly the competitive advantages for ACE ROBOTICS.

With its newly-developed technology paradigm, novel data acquisition paradigm, and the world-leading performance of the Kairos 3.0 World Model, ACE ROBOTICS is making efforts to turn its frontier research into deployable and reusable solutions.

Innovating with world-class AI talents

ACE ROBOTICS brings together a unique group of leading young AI Scientists from around the world, who are pioneers in Ambient Capture, world models, and Embodied Foundation Models, and are working together to secure technological leadership for ACE ROBOTICS.

In addition, top industry experts from AI, the internet, robotics, and autonomous driving have joined the company. With more than a decade of hands-on experience across diverse sectors and deep insights into intelligent applications, these experts will support ACE ROBOTICS in exploring of embodied-AI scenarios.

Accelerating commercial applications of embodied intelligence

ACE ROBOTICS will unveil the world’s first ACE Technology Paradigm, a full-stack architecture built on visual intelligence and integrating Ambient Capture + World Models + Embodied Foundation Models. Leading companies such as Tesla and Figure AI are already shifting from teleoperation to vision-driven data acquisition, and the ACE paradigm offers a new breakthrough beyond current approaches.

As one of the earliest teams to propose Ambient Capture, ACE ROBOTICS combines first-person and third-person viewpoints to build an efficient, high-quality data pipeline. This approach overcomes the limitations of traditional robot-collected data, which cannot support Large-scale sensory data collection in real-world embodied-AI settings, and offers the rich data foundation needed for model training.

Backed by deep technical expertise and accumulation, Kairos 3.0 will be fully open-sourced on December 18, becoming China’s first open-source world model already adopted in commercial products. Built on an integrated architecture for multimodal understanding, generation, and prediction, Kairos 3.0 outperforms mainstream domestic and global world models. It achieves breakthroughs in physical causal consistency and can generate 1080p high-definition video with multi-view, temporally aligned, long-horizon interactions. It also supports fine-grained, controllable scene generation and editing across dynamic and static environments.

Through an industry-leading platform and open APIs, ACE ROBOTICS will make the Kairos 3.0 toolchain accessible to enterprises across sectors, enabling rapid development of lightweight, customized embodied-AI products and accelerating ecosystem growth.

Kairos 3.0 has been adapted to multiple chip platforms and will integrate with leading cloud providers and application partners to ensure continuous upgrades, which will cement its position as a foundational technology for the embodied-AI industry.

ACE ROBOTICS will also debut its A1 Embodied Super Brain Module, powered by the world’s first pure-vision, map-free, end-to-end Vision-Language-Action (VLA) embodied model. Its breakthrough autonomous navigation capability removes reliance on pre-built maps and enables adaptation to complex, unfamiliar environments, giving robots new capabilities to “perceive their surroundings, reason about paths, avoid obstacles, and operate reliably across environments.”

Based on the A1 module, ACE ROBOTICS will form strategic partnerships with leading embodied-AI companies in China to rapidly deploy quadruped robots in industrial scenarios, while continuing to expand use cases and scale commercial deployments.

Developing ecosystem to advance embodied intelligence

The ACE paradigm and product lineup will serve as a new engine of productivity for the embodied-AI industry. Together with ecosystem partners, ACE ROBOTICS is establishing an integrated pathway from Technology → Product → Commercialization, strengthening its competitive advantage across models, hardware, and ecosystem.

At the December 18 launch event, ACE ROBOTICS will announce multiple strategic partnerships with leading enterprises to jointly build a next-generation embodied-AI ecosystem.
