Differential Robotics (Hangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd.

Differential Robotics (Hangzhou) Technology Co., Ltd., operating under the Chinese brand name 微分智飞, is a Hangzhou-based robotics company focused on autonomous flying robots and aerial embodied intelligence. The company positions itself around a "flying embodied brain" and general swarm intelligence system, aiming to build an ecosystem of "aerospace intelligent terminals" that can operate in homes, industry, cities and natural environments. Its stated mission is to "connect flying robots with thousands of industries and bring them into thousands of households." The company's core technology stack rests on four pillars: autonomous navigation, embodied decision-making, end-to-end control, and swarm intelligence. Its autonomous navigation capability is designed to work without GPS, prior maps, or human operation, enabling full autonomous obstacle avoidance and precise navigation in complex environments such as mine tunnels, under-forest areas, and tunnels. The "intelligent brain" uses self-developed AI algorithms to drive a data-intelligence flywheel for real-time online decision-making, while the "efficient cerebellum" employs an end-to-end perception-control architecture for millisecond-level response. The swarm intelligence pillar addresses distributed multi-robot decision-making and dynamic ad-hoc networking, forming a foundation for distributed robot operating systems and large-scale operations. Differential Robotics offers a product line of flying robots for industry and education. The P300 is an intelligent exploration flying robot for autonomous exploration, mapping and inspection in hazardous environments, while the P150 is a lighter, more compact fully autonomous flying robot for narrow, GPS-denied spaces such as goaf detection, underground passage surveys and industrial facility inspection. The P300 Pro is an industry-application flying robot that the company lists as forthcoming. For the education and research market, the company operates a sub-brand called 非凸 (Feitu), offering the 非凸-α Pro educational research flying robot and the C5 competition-grade flying robot, along with laboratory, curriculum, competition and talent-development services for universities and research institutions. Target industries include mining, stockpile inventory, forestry, power infrastructure, tunnels and emergency rescue. The company describes these as a "hundred-billion-level blue ocean market." Its education sub-brand supports research validation, teaching practice, laboratory construction and competition support, aiming to connect technology, talent and industry. Differential Robotics has received a number of recognitions, including being named a 2025 Hangzhou "Hundred Boats Enterprise," holding a civil unmanned aircraft operating certificate and a China Quality Certification Center quality management system certification, being listed among the 2025 China Top 30 Most Promising Robotics Companies, receiving a 2024 Excellent Proof-of-Concept Project award, a Zhejiang Province Industrial New Product Certificate, a Deloitte 2025 China Rising Star award, the 2025 Zhejiang Robot Annual Product Award, a Zhejiang Province Postdoctoral Workstation designation, inclusion in the Zhejiang Embodied Intelligence "Wolongtu Eighteen Arhats," and recognition as a Zhejiang Province Future Unicorn Enterprise. The company is privately held and headquartered in Hangzhou, China.
