WYBOTICS Co., Ltd. (Chinese registered name 天津望圆智能科技股份有限公司; formerly Tianjin Wangyuan Environmental Protection and Technology Co., Ltd.; also known as WYBOT and d/b/a Winny Pool Cleaner) is a Chinese manufacturer headquartered at No. 30, 4th Zhong Nan Street, Tianjin Economic-Technological Development Area, Tianjin, with a Hong Kong place of business registered in June 2025. It is a private PRC joint-stock company (not publicly listed), converted from a limited liability company in December 2021. Sources differ on the founding year (company materials and MarketScreener say 2005; a Benzinga/Bamboo Works write-up says 2006). No reliable employee count or market cap was verified; per its Hong Kong listing application, revenue grew from RMB317.7 million (2022) to RMB543.5 million (2024), with net profit of RMB70.5 million in 2024.
Products / operations. Wybotics designs, manufactures and sells robotic pool cleaners — cordless, corded and handheld models — for residential, commercial and public pools, with 48 major models as of its listing document. It in-houses and assembles key components at a self-owned Tianjin production base. Historically an ODM supplier to pool-equipment brands, it has pivoted since 2023 to direct-to-consumer sales of its own WYBOT and Winny Pool Cleaner brands, mainly via Amazon in North America, Europe and Asia. It is cited as a top-three global robotic pool cleaner supplier and the largest cordless supplier by 2024 shipment volume.
Patent-litigation posture. This is an operating company, not a patent assertion entity. The tracked data shows one case, in which it is the defendant and zero as plaintiff — consistent with a manufacturer defending against infringement claims rather than asserting a portfolio. The one tracked venue is the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California, not a plaintiff-friendly Texas venue.
Notable matters. Zodiac Pool Care Europe et al. v. Wybotics Co., Ltd. et al. (No. 2:22-cv-05271, C.D.

The ITC investigation was terminated in March 2023 after the complainants withdrew as to Wybotics. Related proceedings include a French infringement/seizure action and a 2025 declaratory-judgment action, Wybotics Inc. v. Zodiac Pool Systems LLC (2:25-cv-08526, C.D. Cal.), which is not reflected in the tracked case list above.
