Former Kepler Robotics CEO Launches New Venture Sota Unlimited, Betting on 'Robot Brain' for Overseas Markets

Former Kepler Robotics CEO Hu Debo has launched Sota Unlimited, a new embodied AI startup focused on robot-brain technologies.

Unlike full-stack humanoid robot makers, Sota Unlimited is building world models, multimodal VLA, and data systems.

The company plans to show its capabilities this summer and sell to international robotics customers.

The move reflects a broader shift toward supplying core AI infrastructure for robots, not just the robots themselves.
