Ant Group opens new hires for humanoid robots

Ant Group has started hiring for positions related to embodied AI, marking its entry into intelligent robotics. These job listings are associated with Shanghai Ant Lingbo Technology Co., Ltd., a subsidiary founded in late 2024 with a registered capital of 100 million yuan (approximately US$14 million).

A company representative stated that Ant Lingbo Technology aims to develop embodied AI technologies and products. This initiative is part of Ant Group’s larger strategy to enhance its investments in artificial intelligence.

The focus on embodied AI reflects industry trends. Technology firms are working on robotic systems capable of human-like interaction and navigation. Ant Group’s move into this sector indicates a shift beyond its traditional emphasis on fintech and highlights its intention to broaden its technological capabilities.
