HONG KONG – [2026.06.06] – Axonex was recently featured in a comprehensive interview by i‑CABLE, one of the city’s leading news networks. The segment highlighted our latest innovation: a semi‑humanoid wheeled robot, NEX, designed for real‑world commercial deployment, alongside a proprietary large language model (LLM) built specifically for authentic Cantonese interaction.

Engineering for Stability and Practicality

Unlike fully bipedal humanoid robots, Axonex has developed a semi‑humanoid form factor with a wheeled chassis. This design choice dramatically improves stability, safety, and operational efficiency, enabling the robot to function reliably in commercial, industrial, and government environments today.

Cantonese AI – A Localized Breakthrough

While most global LLMs struggle with the tonal complexity and unique expressions of Cantonese, Axonex has trained its own model using local voice recordings. The result is a natural, authentic interaction experience that generic systems cannot replicate. This breakthrough positions Axonex as a leader in culturally‑sensitive AI for the Cantonese‑speaking world.

Inhouse R&D

The i‑CABLE interview also emphasized Axonex’s commitment to true in‑house research and development. From coding and structural design to hardware selection, and shell fabrication, every major component is engineered by the Axonex team in Hong Kong. This vertical integration ensures quality, speed, and full control over the technology stack.

Profitable Operations and a Vision for Hong Kong IPO

Axonex has already achieved profitability in its robotics division. Looking ahead, the company aims to return to the Hong Kong stock market for an initial public offering (IPO), further cementing its roots in the city while expanding globally.
