Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The subject passes Wikipedia:Notability (people)#Basic criteria, which says:
People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject.
- If the depth of coverage in any given source is not substantial, then multiple independent sources may be combined to demonstrate notability; trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not usually sufficient to establish notability.

  The article notes: "乐聚机器人于2016年成立，是一家专注于机器人核心技术研究、智能机器人产品研发和生产的国家级专精特新“小巨人”企业。目前，已陆续推出多款智能机器人产品及衍生品，持续专注于机器人在科研教育、智慧医疗、重型运载、智能家居、工业制造等多元场景下的落地应用。其中，Aelos小型双足人形机器人作为中国人工智能代表亮相平昌冬奥会“北京8分钟”，冰壶机器人为2022年北京冬奥会冰壶赛项提供科技保障，入围工信部2021年人工智能产业揭榜挂帅名单，并在2023年工信部人形机器人未来产业创新任务揭榜单位中以小组第一入围。"
  From Google Translate: "Founded in 2016, Leju Robotics is a national-level specialised "little giant" enterprise focusing on the research of core robot technologies, the development and production of intelligent robot products. At present, it has launched a number of intelligent robot products and derivatives, and continues to focus on the application of robots in multiple scenarios such as scientific research and education, smart medical care, heavy-duty transportation, smart home, and industrial manufacturing. Among them, the Aelos small bipedal humanoid robot appeared as a representative of Chinese artificial intelligence in the "Beijing 8 Minutes" of the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics, and the curling robot provided technological support for the curling events of the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics. It was shortlisted for the 2021 list of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's artificial intelligence industry, and was shortlisted as the first in the group in the 2023 list of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology's humanoid robot future industry innovation task announcement units."

  The article notes: "近年来，人形机器人(19.460, -1.46, -6.98%)成为备受瞩目的热点。在世界机器人大会、世界人工智能大会等国际性展会中，一款名为“夸父”的人形机器人吸引了市场目光。“夸父”是乐聚（深圳）机器人技术有限公司（以下简称乐聚机器人）于2023年12月底发布的国内首款可跳跃、可适应多地形行走的开源鸿蒙人形机器人，重量约45公斤，全身自由度超过38个，步速最高可达5公里/小时，快速连续跳跃高度超过20厘米。2016年成立之初，乐聚机器人就锁定了在当时看来还是小众赛道的人形机器人领域。两年后，由乐聚机器人研发设计的Aelos小型双足人形机器人作为中国人工智能代表亮相平昌冬奥会“北京8分钟”。"
  From Google Translate: "In recent years, Leju Robotics (19.460, -1.46, -6.98%) has become a hot topic. At international exhibitions such as the World Robot Conference and the World Artificial Intelligence Conference, a humanoid robot named "Kuafu" attracted the attention of the market. "Kuafu" is the first open source Hongmeng humanoid robot in China that can jump and adapt to multi-terrain walking, which was released by Leju (Shenzhen) Robotics Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Leju Robotics) at the end of December 2023. It weighs about 45 kilograms, has more than 38 degrees of freedom in the whole body, a maximum walking speed of 5 kilometers per hour, and a fast and continuous jumping height of more than 20 centimeters. At the beginning of its establishment in 2016, Leju Robotics locked in the field of humanoid robots, which was still a niche track at the time. Two years later, the Aelos small bipedal humanoid robot developed and designed by Leju Robotics appeared as a representative of Chinese artificial intelligence at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics "Beijing 8 Minutes"."

  The article notes: "1月17日，乐聚（深圳）机器人技术有限公司（简称：乐聚机器人）第100台人形机器人交付给了北汽，自2023年底人形机器人发售以来，乐聚已经在商业化道路上摸索了一年多时间。过去一年，乐聚机器人鲜少对外发声，而是认真做研发迭代和量产交付的事情。近期，21世纪经济报道记者探访了乐聚机器人的深圳总部。与2023年底到访不同，如今公司的人形机器人已经升级了一个代系，不仅外观全面升级，在各项技术细节均有较大的迭代。... 2016年，在业界都不看好人形机器人的时候，乐聚还是重金押注，起初的产品只是小型双足人形机器人。这其中既有公司生存所迫，也有整个产业链不够完善，技术不够成熟等条件影响。但乐聚从未停止对大型人形机器人的追求，从2018年的初代，到2024年的第四代，中间走过了5个代系。哪怕是2023年底推出高动态人形机器人三代，乐聚公司内部也不认为其是一款能够真正面向市场的产品。"
  From Google Translate: "On January 17, Leju (Shenzhen) Robot Technology Co., Ltd. (Leju Robot) delivered the 100th humanoid robot to BAIC. Since the humanoid robot was launched at the end of 2023, Leju has been exploring the road to commercialisation for more than a year. In the past year, Leju Robot has rarely spoken to the outside world, but has been serious about R&D iteration and mass production delivery. Recently, a reporter from 21st Century Business Herald visited Leju Robot's Shenzhen headquarters. Unlike the visit at the end of 2023, the company's humanoid robot has now upgraded a generation, not only with a comprehensive upgrade in appearance, but also with major iterations in various technical details. ... In 2016, when the industry was not optimistic about humanoid robots, Leju still bet heavily, and the initial product was only a small bipedal humanoid robot. This was due to both the company's survival pressure and the fact that the entire industrial chain was not perfect and the technology was not mature enough. But Leju has never stopped pursuing large humanoid robots. From the first generation in 2018 to the fourth generation in 2024, it has gone through five generations. Even if the third generation of high-dynamic humanoid robots is launched at the end of 2023, Leju does not think it is a product that can truly face the market."

  The article notes: "2016年，冷晓琨与哈工大机器人俱乐部的伙伴们因乐而聚，一同踏上自主研发生产双足机器人的创新创业之路。2016年，乐聚机器人（简称乐聚）获得天使轮融资，当年发布小型双足仿人机器人Aelos。2017年，乐聚获得腾讯和深创投的投资。乐聚成立之初仅10多人，现在已有200多名员工。"
  From Google Translate: "In 2016, Leng Xiaokun and his partners from the Harbin Institute of Technology Robot Club came together for fun and embarked on the road of innovation and entrepreneurship to independently develop and produce bipedal robots. In 2016, Leju Robotics (abbreviated as Leju) received angel round financing and released the small bipedal humanoid robot Aelos that year. In 2017, Leju received investment from Tencent and Shenzhen Capital Group. When Leju was first established, there were only more than 10 people, and now there are more than 200 employees."

  The article notes: "乐聚创立于 2016 年 3 月，是一家专注人工智能载体——智能人形机器人研发与销售的高科技企业，该公司是国内人形机器人行业领先的准独角兽企业。核心成员均为哈工大博士，中国工程院院士蔡鹤皋为乐聚首席科学家，创始人冷晓琨入选福布斯亚洲 30 位 30 岁以下精英。乐聚机器人曾作为中国人工智能代表，亮相平昌冬奥会 “ 北京 8 分钟 ”。其生产的人形机器人，是国内唯一可以快走的机器人，行走速度能达到 15cm/s，同时动作足够灵活。"
  From Google Translate: "Founded in March 2016, Leju is a high-tech enterprise focusing on the research and development and sales of intelligent humanoid robots, an artificial intelligence carrier. The company is a leading quasi-unicorn company in the domestic humanoid robot industry. The core members are all doctors from Harbin Institute of Technology. Cai Hegao, an academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, is Leju's chief scientist, and founder Leng Xiaokun was selected as one of Forbes Asia's 30 elites under 30. Leju Robotics once appeared in the "Beijing 8 Minutes" at the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics as a representative of Chinese artificial intelligence. The humanoid robot it produces is the only robot in China that can walk fast, with a walking speed of 15cm/s and sufficient flexibility."
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Leju Robotics (simplified Chinese: 乐聚机器人; traditional Chinese: 樂聚機器人) to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".
