Hangzhou Hikrobot Co., Ltd. (Hikrobot, 海康机器人)
Company Overview
Hangzhou Hikrobot Co., Ltd. — trading internationally as Hikrobot — is a manufacturer of machine vision products and mobile robots, headquartered in the Binjiang District of Hangzhou, Zhejiang. The company was founded in 2016 as a subsidiary of Hikvision, the well-known surveillance and AIoT group, and it inherited that group's deep experience in imaging sensors, optics and embedded processing.
That lineage matters to a buyer. Hikrobot's machine vision line leans on the same kind of sensor and algorithm work that made Hikvision a global player, and it has grown into one of the more visible Chinese names in industrial vision and warehouse robotics. It is best understood as an industrial automation supplier rather than a consumer-goods factory — the products are aimed at factory floors, warehouses and logistics operations.
Main Products
Hikrobot splits its catalogue into two broad families.
Machine vision:
- Smart cameras and industrial cameras
- Code and barcode readers, including fixed-mount and handheld readers
- Vision systems used for positioning, inspection, measurement and OCR
- Lenses, lighting and related vision components
Mobile robots:
- AGVs and AMRs for intralogistics
- Automated forklifts and lifting robots
- Robots for automated warehousing and e-commerce logistics, widely applied in 3C electronics manufacturing and similar sectors
The company positions its mobile robot solutions around simplifying intralogistics flows and reducing handling costs, and it also brings machine vision hardware and software platforms together for intelligent manufacturing.

What to Know as a Buyer
Hikrobot is an industrial-automation supplier, not a private-label consumer manufacturer. If you are sourcing robots or vision hardware for a consumer product, this is not the right starting point; if you are equipping a factory, a warehouse or a logistics operation, its catalogue is squarely in scope.
Because machine vision systems and AGVs are often sold as configured solutions rather than off-the-shelf units, expect a technical sales process. Be ready with your actual requirement — working distance, field of view, throughput, payload, environment — rather than a generic enquiry. For vision specifically, ask about SDK and software compatibility, since integration effort often exceeds the hardware cost. For mobile robots, the fleet management software and how it talks to your existing WMS or MES is usually the deciding factor.
