AheadForm (首形科技)

AheadForm is a Shanghai company founded in 2024 by Yuhang Hu, a Columbia University PhD, that specialises in hyper-realistic bionic heads and upper-body androids with silicone skin. Besides Shanghai it keeps offices in Beijing, Hangzhou, Shenzhen and New York.

Its products, such as the Elf·Xuan 2.0, are aimed at stage shows, exhibitions, brand events and reception desks, where facial expression and lip-sync matter more than walking or carrying loads. The company publishes neither dimensions nor prices and prepares quotes on request.
