SEER Robot Brain (SRC Controllers & M4 Logistics Software)

SEER Robotics is a Shanghai-based robotics company, listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange as 06106.HK, whose founding team came from Zhejiang University and won RoboCup three times. It supplies the core control platform it calls the Robot Brain, so that robot makers and integrators can build autonomous mobile robots and autonomous forklifts without developing navigation from scratch, and it reports more than 2,500 customers in 43 countries and regions.

The SRC controller line covers entry-level units for differential-drive, pallet and dual-steering robots, the general-purpose 2000 series and the 3000 safety series for forklifts, all providing mapping, positioning, navigation and model editing. Roboshop and the Robokit operating system configure robots, while a fleet management system, the M4 smart logistics management system and visualization tools run warehouse operations. SEER also sells its own autonomous forklifts, lifting and bin handling robots.

• SRC entry controllers: SRC-880, SRC-F10 and SRC-R10 for differential-drive, pallet and dual-steering robots.
• SRC-2000 series: general-purpose controllers for AMRs and autonomous forklifts.
• SRC-3000FS safety controllers: safety-rated control for robots and forklifts.
• Roboshop and Robokit: tools and operating system for mapping, positioning, navigation and model editing.
• M4 logistics system: manages automated warehouse operations and coordinates robots and devices.
• Visualization suite: real-time robot status, task chains, bin locations and alarms.

A Vietnamese robot builder can use SRC controllers to launch its own AMR or autonomous forklift faster. An electronics plant in Bac Ninh can automate pallet moves with SEER autonomous forklifts and monitor them in one dashboard. A system integrator can use M4 software to coordinate robots and devices in a new automated warehouse.

Robot makers shorten development time by building on a ready controller and toolchain instead of writing navigation software in-house. The company states it has ranked first in global intelligent robot controller shipments for three consecutive years and offers more than 2,000 robot SKUs built on its platform. Compatibility with over 90% of mainstream accessory makers eases sourcing of sensors and parts.

Demand for AMRs and autonomous forklifts is spreading from large Chinese factories to electronics, automotive and new energy plants across Asia. Many local robot builders and integrators prefer to buy a proven navigation controller and fleet software rather than develop their own, which opens room for component suppliers serving regional manufacturers.

Founded in 2020 according to its website and headquartered in Shanghai, with offices in Hong Kong, Japan, Germany and the United States. Listed on HKEX (06106.HK). Named customers include Tesla, FAW-Volkswagen, BYD, Foxconn, Schneider Electric, Siemens and Caterpillar.
