About ROPET™
Founded in early 2022, ROPET™ was co-founded by Mr. He Jiabin and Dr. Zhou Yushu with a mission to create the world’s leading emotionally intelligent AI companion pets.
Our core team brings together talents from top institutions including Stanford University, Tsinghua Academy of Arts & Design, The University of Hong Kong, Central Academy of Fine Arts, and Beijing Institute of Fashion Technology. They have held key roles at industry-leading companies such as ByteDance, Microsoft, Alibaba DAMO Academy, Xiaomi, and NIO. This multidisciplinary team spans product design, AI technology, branding, trend culture, and operations—empowering ROPET™ with cross-sector innovation and a global perspective.
ROPET® has established R&D, sales, and marketing teams across Washington (USA), Hong Kong, Beijing, and Shenzhen.
“We want to build a company that moves slowly and thoughtfully—softening AI and technology, focusing on the tender moments of human life. We believe in using technology to mend the emotional fabric of urban dwellers fractured by modern life.”
At its heart, ROPET® was born for one simple reason—to be loved, and to spark love in return.

BRAND PHILOSOPHY
The rapid advancement of AI has significantly enhanced productivity and efficiency across industries. Yet, the gap in genuine human connection remains unfilled. ROPET™ was born to challenge the stereotype of AI as a “cold, utilitarian tool” and to reshape how emotional bonds are formed in a tech-driven world.
We envision a future where technology is not just intelligent, but warm.
Our mission is not to create the “perfect” robot—but to use technology to redefine the meaning of friendship, connection, and care.
Built on artificial intelligence and aesthetic design, ROPET™ offers a new kind of companionship experience. With its soft, lovable appearance, emotionally attuned interactions, and lifelike capacity for growth and learning, ROPET is more than a device—it’s a presence.
—— Let ROPET® be the friend you can trust, rely on, and truly feel accompanied by.
