Elite’s core architecture rests on "VLA+T"—a Vision-Language-Action model enhanced with torque-optimized perception. By fusing real-time torque sensing and optimization strategies into general large models, the company achieves a closed loop from perception to high-dynamic, high-compliance physical manipulation. With full-stack in-house capabilities ranging from the underlying operating system to joint modules, its composite robots function as intelligent agents integrating "hand, brain, eye, and foot."
On the business front, the company reports hyper-growth in group revenue, driven primarily by its composite robotics division. Profitability now ranks among the leaders in the intelligent robot core systems market. AI supply chain-related activities account for 50% of the business, spanning optical modules, servers, smartphones, smart vehicles, and AI drug discovery.
