From popular crowdfunding to now on sale, Miaodong Technology’s Beni robot creates a new perspective in imaging

On November 10, 2026, consumer robot company Miaodong Technology announced that its world's first multi-terrain tracking robot Beni is officially on sale: the standard set is priced at 4,999 yuan, and the exploration set is priced at 5,799 yuan. Domestic users can purchase it through JD.com, and it will be shipped immediately. A month ago, Beni set a record for the largest crowdfunding amount in the history of consumer robots on the Kickstarter platform, raising more than US$5 million and 7,926 backers around the world. Today, it has moved from “crowdfunding hot product” to “spot sales” stage. For Miaodong Technology, which was founded less than two years ago, the launch of Beni is not only the launch of its first product for global users, but also the integration of cutting-edge robotics technology and professional imaging engineering to explore the first implementation scenario of embodied intelligence in the consumer market. From "people holding cameras" to "camera following people": robots open up a new space for imaging. If the existing consumer-level imaging hardware is divided according to "perspective × scene": action cameras occupy "first perspective × sports", drones occupy "aerial perspective × travel scenery", handheld pan-tilt cameras occupy "handheld perspective × daily Vlog", but in the quadrant of "ground perspective × sports and daily life", they have been blank for a long time. Beni is filling this gap - unlike equipment that relies on handheld, fixed installation or gimbal rotation, and unlike aerial tracking equipment, Beni combines the structure of a two-wheeled robot with professional imaging engineering, allowing the shooting equipment to move autonomously on the ground to achieve autonomous tracking on multiple terrains and angles. In sports scenarios, this capability brings a whole new experience. Runners no longer need to repeatedly set up equipment and adjust the camera position, and can record their running status through side or rear tracking; tennis enthusiasts can record their running status in a fixed panoramic view

Fable 5.2 "Crash" Ant Lingbo Tactile Model, CEO Zhu Xing: The collaboration of the two types of models will accelerate the maturity of the embodied industry

On November 10, the same day Claude Fable 5.2 was released, Ant Lingbo Technology open sourced the basic tactile model LingBot-Touch. A general large model for the digital world and an embodied basic model for closed-loop physical operations came into public view on the same day. The relationship between these two technical routes is the focus of current discussions in the embodied intelligence industry. In Ant Lingbo's view, the general large model and the embodied basic model are closer to a 1+1>2 synergistic relationship: the former enhances the understanding and reasoning of tasks and environments, and the latter complements physical perception and closed-loop operation capabilities. Only when the two go hand in hand can they jointly accelerate the maturity of the embodied industry. The open source LingBot-Touch is based on nearly 5,000 hours of real tactile data pre-training and covers three mainstream sensing principles: magnetic tactile, visual tactile and piezoresistive. It can convert different signals into the same set of tactile representations for use by different dexterous hands and action models, allowing the robot to "see clearly and think clearly" while further complementing the tactile perception required for fine operations. Previously, Ant Lingbo's universal brain has covered high-precision spatial perception, highly dynamic environment interaction and generalizable dexterous operations. This time, LingBot-Touch has been connected to LingBot-VLA, extending the sensing capabilities to the "fingertips", making the robot "touch more sensitive", and the hand-eye coordination ability of the native universal brain has been further improved. 26 real-machine tests, the task success rate increased by 14 to 26 percentage points. As general-purpose large models continue to advance, the robot's ability to understand complex tasks and reason about operation steps is increasing. But in the real physical world, every time a robot performs an action, it must sense changes in objects and the environment, and then correct the next action. In many delicate operations, the robot can clearly see where the object is.
