SERICA

Robotics

Europe's partner for Chinese robotics — from Beijing's laboratories to Europe's factories, one trusted route.

01Mission

Two thousand years ago, Europe knew China by a single thread. Today the thread is embodied intelligence — and it needs a trusted route west.

02What we do
— 01

Supply

Sourcing, import and European compliance for advanced Chinese robotics — dexterous hands, humanoid platforms, service robots. CE conformity, local stock, support in European hours.

— 02

Experience

Robots people can meet. Demonstrations, trade fairs, brand activations and media productions that let Europe touch the state of the art — before deciding to own it.

— 03

Access

Innovation tours to China's robotics frontier and structured introductions both ways. We speak both rooms — Mandarin in Beijing, business across Europe.

03The name
SERICA
Latin · “The land of silk”

Serica was the name Greek and Roman geographers gave to a distant country they had never seen — known to them only by the extraordinary material that arrived along the trade routes: silk.

That country was China. The route was the Silk Road. For centuries it carried the most advanced technology in the world westward, through way stations built on trust.

We are building that route again — for robotics.

04The founder

Born in Zeeland. Raised in Shenzhen.

Serica is founded by Sander Kole — 柯桑德 to an audience of millions. Born in Goes, the Netherlands, he spent twenty years growing up in Shenzhen while the city became the hardware capital of the world.

Today he is a content creator with over five million followers across Bilibili, Douyin and YouTube — an audience in the market Serica's partners call home — and co-owner of a B2B trading business in the Netherlands.

Chinese robotics companies don't meet a cold contact; they meet a face their own market already knows. European clients meet a partner who can read the datasheet and the room — in both languages.

The companies making the hardware.

01 · Founding partner

Linkerbot

Linkerbot Beijing Technology Co., Ltd. designs and manufactures dexterous robotic hands, motion-capture gloves and teleoperated arms for embodied intelligence — a full hardware stack, not a single product on a slide deck.

These are not lab curiosities. Reuters and CES 2026 press coverage report Linkerbot hands already on the line at Foxconn, Midea, Siemens and Samsung — built across five factories in Beijing and Shenzhen at roughly 5,000 units a month, the highest production volume of any dexterous-hand maker in the world.

Three hands carry the relationship: O6, L6 and L20 — by Linkerbot's own account, their three best-selling models, spanning entry, mid and flagship tiers.
