ROBOTERA, a robotics company focused on embodied intelligence and humanoid systems, announced it has raised RMB 1 billion in a strategic funding round, pushing its valuation past RMB 10 billion. The round included a mix of new and existing investors spanning global technology, automotive, and industrial sectors.
The latest financing saw participation from Gaocheng Capital, Singtel Innov8, Woori Venture Partners, CICC Porsche Fund, China Fortune-Tech Capital, Fenghe Capital, Wuxi Capital, GF QIANHE, Horizon Investment, and a major South Korean technology company. Existing backers, including CDH Venture and Growth Capital, and Tsinghua Holding Tiancheng Asset Management, also increased their stakes.
This round comes just two months after the company’s previous financing and exceeded its initial fundraising target, signaling strong investor demand. In total, ROBOTERA has now attracted 16 domestic and international industrial investors across sectors such as semiconductors, consumer electronics, logistics, new energy, and telecommunications. Its investor base includes companies such as Geely, Alibaba, Lenovo, Haier, and BAIC, as well as global participants such as Singtel Innov8 and Woori Capital.
ROBOTERA has differentiated itself through fully in-house hardware development, including proprietary motors, reducers, and joint modules. Its flagship full-size bipedal humanoid robot, L7, has demonstrated advanced motion control capabilities, including record-setting high- and long-jump performances. The company also introduced a direct-drive dexterous robotic hand, which has achieved about 70% of human-level efficiency in logistics operations and shipped over 1,000 units in 2025, with half going to international markets.
Commercial traction has accelerated alongside its technology development. The company reported cumulative orders exceeding RMB 500 million, with approximately 50% coming from international customers. Clients include nine of the world’s top ten publicly listed technology companies, with some placing repeat orders up to six times.
In logistics applications, ROBOTERA has deployed robotic systems across multiple Chinese cities, achieving operational efficiency improvements of up to 70% in certain use cases. Its collaboration with SF Express led to the launch of a cross-border logistics inspection solution that has been deployed at customs, with single contracts exceeding RMB 50 million.
Beyond logistics, the company’s industrial customers include Samsung, Geely, Renault, Lenovo, Haier, TCL, and Century Golden Resources, spanning sectors such as automotive, electronics, and high-end manufacturing.
ROBOTERA plans to use the new capital to accelerate technology iteration and scale production, with a focus on e-commerce logistics, industrial manufacturing, and pharmaceutical distribution. The company aims to expand both domestic and international deployments while strengthening its position in industrial robotics and embodied AI.
