Founded in 2016 and built on a research program that began in 2010, Buffalo Robot was incubated out of the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China’s Robotics Research Center and the Ministry of Education’s Engineering Research Center for Human-Machine Intelligent Technology and Systems. The company presents itself as a national high-tech enterprise focused on exoskeleton robots, intelligent rehabilitation, and related human-machine interaction technologies. Its product range includes adult lower-limb walking exoskeletons, pediatric lower-limb exoskeletons, home-use lower-limb rehab systems, and upper-limb rehabilitation devices; recent reporting says the broader line now also includes elderly-assist and industrial/special-purpose exoskeletons. Buffalo’s core lower-limb walking exoskeleton is designed to support standing and walking, whole-body coordination training, and visualized rehabilitation assessment.

At the start of 2026, Sichuan Online reported that Buffalo has announced a second strategic financing round led by the Chengdu Future Industry Angel Fund. The company said the funds would support core R&D, application expansion, and nationwide marketing/service build-out; the same report said its products were in 500+ medical institutions and that industrial exoskeleton products had already been delivered in volume.
