Zeroth Launches Bridge, the World's First AI-Native Embodied Robot

Zeroth has officially introduced Bridge, touted as the world's first AI-native embodied robot, alongside OpenBridge, an open-source ecosystem engineered to support collaborative development of real-world robotic capabilities.

Standing 88 cm tall and weighing approximately 13 kg, Bridge features a compact humanoid form factor equipped with 30–40 cm arms and two-finger grippers. The platform features a streamlined design optimized specifically for size, weight, and desktop accessibility.

Unlike conventional robotic systems limited to pre-programmed or rigid movement routines, Bridge is constructed on an AI-native architecture spanning its hardware, motion control stack, and software development interfaces.

The system comes equipped with stable bipedal walking capabilities, intelligent obstacle avoidance, and a natural movement choreography library. Developers receive full access to SDKs, open motion-control APIs, and motion capture and virtual reality integration.

OpenBridge serves as a shared development platform, offering unified software tools, training resources, and a public Skill Hub designed to enable global developers to co-create and share robotic functions.

To drive adoption, the company launched the Bridge Builder Program, shortlisting 500 developers for an ecosystem co-creation challenge, with the top 200 participants receiving complimentary access to Bridge units.

Renjie Guo, Founder and CEO of Zeroth, stated:

"We hope that one day, everyone can participate in creating robots. To make that possible, we want to make robotics more open to everyone. The world has no shortage of walls. We choose to build bridges."

Global bookings for the Bridge Geek Edition opened on September 2, 2026, through Zeroth's dedicated portal, with developer applications for the co-creation program now open online.
