Wujie Dongli Partners with JD.com to Deploy K15 Robots in Seven Fresh Coffee
Wujie Dongli has signed a strategic partnership with JD.com to deploy its second-generation K15 embodied AI robots in Seven Fresh coffee shops. The partnership aims to scale up deployments across more than 1,000 Seven Fresh stores and achieve 1 billion RMB in product cooperation. This partnership marks a significant commercial step for practical embodied AI applications in high-volume retail environments. It bridges advanced robotics research with mainstream consumer markets, paving the way for widespread automated retail operations. The K15 is a dual-arm wheeled semi-humanoid robot powered by a proprietary 1200TOPS (INT8) domestic computing platform. It features a compact wrist-turning radius of 30mm, enabling stable operation in narrow spaces under 800mm wide.
