Hanyang Technology

What Hanyang Technology does

Hanyang Technology, operating under the brand Yarbo (汉阳科技), is a Shenzhen-based consumer robotics company founded in 2015 that designs, manufactures, and sells modular, autonomous yard-maintenance robots for residential homeowners. Its core product is a proprietary '1+N' platform architecture: a single base unit that accepts interchangeable seasonal attachments — the YarboSnowBlower, YarboMower, and YarboBlower — covering year-round yard tasks including snow clearing, lawn mowing, and leaf blowing. The company pioneered the world's first consumer-grade modular courtyard robot and the first autonomous residential snow removal robot, with products featuring GPS navigation, app-based control, and autonomous scheduling. The company practices core-technology self-research and self-production, with approximately 70% of its 51-100 employees in R&D and manufacturing located at its own facility in Huizhou, Guangdong. Internationally, it operates regional offices in New York (serving North America), Hong Kong, and Singapore alongside its Shenzhen headquarters.

The company's business model is hardware-centric consumer sales distributed through a hybrid channel mix: direct e-commerce via its official Yarbo.com website and a formalized global dealer recruitment program targeting resellers across North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. Crowdfunding has served as both demand validation and initial capital — its 2021 Kickstarter/Indiegogo campaign raised over $3.45 million in 40+ days, making it the highest-funded consumer robotics crowdfunding campaign globally at the time, and a 2021 milestone of $1 million was hit within one hour. Since 2023 the company has achieved mass production and global delivery, with an installed base of roughly 11,000 internet-connected Yarbo units across more than 30 countries (including approximately 5,000 in the US). Revenue derives from consumer hardware transactions rather than recurring software contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed.

Hanyang Technology is a privately held, venture-backed company that has raised approximately US$76 million across five disclosed funding rounds between 2023 and 2026, with lead investors including Starlight Capital (March 2023, ~$14.5M), BA Capital and Hua Partners (May 2023, ~$20M), Yuantai Investment Partners (March 2025, ~$27.45M), and a July 2025 round exceeding US$14 million with participation from CICC Capital and CAS Investment Management. Use of disclosed capital has been directed at market expansion, overseas sales development, supply chain buildout for snow plow robots, and continued product iteration including the Yarbo 2024 series. The company has received earned media coverage from Forbes, ABC News, The Verge, Wired, CNET, ZDNET, CGTN, Robb Report, and Fast Company.

Core offering

Hanyang Technology, operating under the Yarbo brand, designs, manufactures and sells consumer-grade modular yard maintenance robots built on a proprietary '1+N' multi-function platform. A single Yarbo base unit accepts interchangeable attachments — the YarboSnowBlower, YarboMower and YarboBlower — providing year-round automated snow clearing, lawn mowing and leaf blowing for residential homeowners. The company pioneered the world's first consumer-grade modular courtyard robot and the first autonomous residential snow removal robot, and achieved mass production and global delivery in 2023.

Product overview

Yarbo汉阳科技 offers a modular consumer-grade smart courtyard maintenance robot ecosystem based on a proprietary '1+N' multi-function design concept. The core offering consists of a base unit that accepts different seasonal attachments including YarboSnowBlower (snow clearing), YarboMower (lawn mowing), and YarboBlower (leaf blowing). This modular architecture allows customers to purchase one base unit and add attachments as needed for year-round courtyard maintenance. The company pioneered the world's first consumer-grade modular courtyard robot and the first consumer-grade autonomous snow removal robot. All products feature autonomous operation, app connectivity, and GPS navigation capabilities.

Emerging players

• Ecovacs Robotics: Ecovacs is a leading Chinese consumer robotics company (DEEBOT vacuums, GOAT lawn mowers, WINBOT). Comparable as a peer Chinese-origin consumer robotics brand expanding into outdoor yard automation.
• iRobot Corporation: iRobot is the leading US-based consumer robotics company (Roomba vacuums). Comparable as a consumer-grade autonomous home robotics pioneer with similar go-to-market challenges and brand-building playbook.
• Segway-Ninebot: Segway-Ninebot is a Chinese consumer robotics and micromobility company that has expanded into robotic lawn mowers (Navimow). Comparable as a peer Chinese consumer robotics brand entering autonomous yard maintenance.

Broad incumbents

• Toro Company: Toro is a leading manufacturer of outdoor equipment for lawns, snow, and grounds maintenance. Comparable as a broad incumbent with established dealer/service network that competes in adjacent yard-maintenance categories.
• Stihl: Stihl is a global leader in outdoor power equipment including chainsaws, blowers, and trimmers. Adjacent incumbent whose brand and dealer network could enter autonomous robotic versions of its products.
• Honda Power Equipment: Honda Power Equipment manufactures outdoor power products including snow blowers, mowers, and generators. Comparable as a broad incumbent in residential outdoor equipment with strong brand recognition.

Direct peers

• Robomow (Stanley Black & Decker): Robomow designs and markets robotic lawn mowers for residential use, now owned by Stanley Black & Decker. Direct competitor to Yarbo's autonomous mowing capability in the consumer segment.
• Ambrogio Robot (Zucchetti Centro Sistemi): Ambrogio manufactures professional and consumer robotic lawn mowers, primarily in Europe. Comparable in offering autonomous residential yard robots with similar navigation technology.
• Worx Landroid (Positec): Positec's Worx Landroid is a leading consumer robotic lawn mower brand sold globally through retail. Directly competes with Yarbo's YarboMower module in the residential segment.
• Husqvarna Group (Automower): Husqvarna's Automower is the global leader in robotic lawn mowers for residential use. Directly comparable to Yarbo's modular yard maintenance concept, with broader installed base and dealer network but historically single-function (mowing only).
