世界人工智能大会汇聚了价值超过147亿美元的中国机器人企业 2026-07-20
Most Chinese robotics companies are attending the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. Even though they have not gone public yet, their combined valuation has exceeded CNY100 billion (USD14.7 billion).
PsiBot has so far raised a total of CNY2 billion (USD300 million). Securing funds is essential to achieve sustainable development over the next three to five years, the company's Chief Executive Officer Wang Qibin told Yicai, adding that its two priorities are effectively managing data and models, enabling rapid data collection in a highly efficient and cost-effective manner to facilitate quick model iterations, and achieving strong coupling in the overall hardware system.
Robotera completed a CNY1 billion financing earlier this month, bringing the total raised in just two months to CNY2.5 billion. This latest financing round was led by state-owned capital operation company CCT Fund Management, with several large state-owned enterprises participating, including Jiangxi State Owned Capital Operation Holding Group, Guoyuan Equity Investment, Sino-Singapore Chongqing Connectivity Private Equity Fund, and Hangzhou Capital.
Unitree Robotics and AgiBot have already seen their valuation surpass CNY10 billion (USD1.5 billion) last year. According to incomplete statistics from Yicai, the number of Chinese robotics companies with valuations of CNY10 billion increased by 19 in the first half, including Deep Robotics, AI² Robotics, Spirit AI, GigaAI, Linkerbot, Sudo AI, and Robotera.
The single financing amounts for these unicorns generally start at CNY1 billion, with AI² Robotics's Series B funding round reaching CNY5 billion.
Chinese robotics firms with valuations exceeding CNY10 billion raised a total of more than CNY40 billion in the first half, accounting for over 40 percent of the total financing in the intelligent robotics sector, according to public data.
WAIC’s Robot Showcase
Shanghai-based AgiBot presented its products and their deployment scenarios in collaboration with JD Logistics at the WAIC. They can not only flexibly and stably grasp and transport standard cargo boxes but also carry out handling and stacking tasks for 24 hours without the need for manual shifts or night supervision.
Robbyant recreated a real pharmacy application scenario in collaboration with GuoDa Drugstore at the WAIC. Three robots with different configurations shared a 'universal brain' to demonstrate the entire process of order reception, medication retrieval, and delivery.
PsiBot showcased the entire production process of optical modules, from detection to packaging, involving operations such as gripping, inserting, and placing with sub-millimeter precision.
Geek+ brought in a miniature production line, with robots operating continuously with real products. The collaboration between humanoid robots, mobile robots, and picking workstations was seamless, enabling a smooth process of picking, transporting, and delivering items, with almost no interruptions.
Geek+'s self-developed Gravity 4D embodied AI model enhances the 4D information representation most relevant to physical operations. This allows robots to see products and understand physical changes during stacking, occlusion, and movement, enabling them to intuitively know how to grasp and move items.
By refining the hardware's gripping capabilities, Gravity 4D can be seamlessly transferred to commercial and everyday use, the company's CEO Chen Xi said.
