What Robooter does
Robooter, legally Shanghai Bangbang Robotics Co., Ltd, is a Shanghai-based intelligent mobility company founded in 2016 that designs and manufactures AI-enabled electric wheelchairs, mobility scooters, and standing assistive robots under the global Robooter brand and the domestic Bangbang Robot brand. Its core technology is built around the proprietary SAAMM framework — Smart Network Connection, Auto Driving, Active Safety, Motion Control, and Man-machine Interaction — combining multimodal sensing, machine vision, gyroscope-based motion control, and a mobile app ecosystem. The product portfolio spans the X40 semi-outdoor foldable wheelchair (IF Design Award winner), E40 indoor and E60/E60 GT/E60 Pro A all-terrain power wheelchairs (including the 2025 Red Dot-winning E60 Pro A), the E80 carbon-fiber wheelchair weighing 15.9 kg with 150 kg load capacity, the Q40 compact foldable mobility scooter (2025 Red Dot winner), the C40 3-in-1 hybrid wheelchair, and the XZ-Droid Smart standing rehabilitation wheelchair. The EasyAccess autonomous driving platform extends the technology into B2B institutional deployments, notably the patient transfer system deployed at Ruijin Hospital in Shanghai.
The business model is hardware sales of Class II medical devices (FDA, CE, UKCA, Japanese certified) sold through a hybrid channel: exclusive distributors in 65+ countries, 4,000+ retail locations worldwide, and direct-to-consumer websites including the U.S. robooter.us launched in April 2026. Additional revenue streams include accessories (batteries, chargers, safety belts, NFC cards), institutional mobility solutions for hospitals and public venues, and venue rental programs. Robooter serves elderly individuals with mobility limitations and people with lower limb disabilities as the primary end markets, with secondary B2B customers in healthcare, museums, amusement parks, and scenic spots. The company reports 1M+ cumulative users globally, a team of 150+ engineers and designers, and operates three wholly-owned entities including two production bases in Jiangsu and Hunan alongside the Shanghai headquarters and Shanhai Zhifu sales subsidiary.
