The project is a secret within the company and is managed by the Forward Research Department under Phoenix ZhiChuang Technology Co., Ltd. The total budget for the project is approximately 25 million yuan, with less than 5 million yuan spent by October 2024, excluding personnel wages. [1] - Product Development: The company aims to develop robots related to the automotive industry and factory labor. Four SKUs have been planned: D1 DOG (consumer-level), D10 (industrial-level), R1 (humanoid bipedal robot), and R100 (wheelchair humanoid robot). As of October 2024, two POCs of D1 and one each of D10 and R1 have been produced. [2] - Production Goals: The company aims to achieve mass production by June 2025. However, the specific production volume and timeline are not yet determined. The decision to mass produce was made without a clear market strategy or target user group. [6][7][8] - Leadership and Decision-Making: The project is led by the head of the Forward Research Department, who is a mid-level manager. The ultimate decision-making power lies with the company's headquarters. The specific individuals driving the project within the headquarters are not clear. [9][10] - Competitive Landscape: S Company's main competitive advantage lies in hardware and supplier integration, leveraging its experience in the automotive industry.
