As 2025 draws to a close, financing activities in the robotics industry remain highly dynamic.
According to incomplete statistics, a number of robotics-related enterprises have announced new financing progress since December, with single transaction amounts ranging from tens of millions to hundreds of millions of yuan.
These enterprises cover multiple sub-sectors, from basic hardware and core “brains” to warehousing, logistics and special operations. Capital’s attention to the robotics industry is no longer confined to a single type or application scenario, but has shown a diversified investment layout.
Financing Surge Overview: Key Players Join the “100-Million-Yuan Club”
On December 9, Hangzhou DeepRobotics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “DeepRobotics”) announced the completion of over 500 million yuan in Series C financing. Undoubtedly, DeepRobotics is one of the most eye-catching enterprises in this round of financing wave.
This marks the second large-scale financing completed by DeepRobotics in 2025. The company had just secured nearly 500 million yuan in a new round of financing in July, meaning it has raised a total of approximately 1 billion yuan in just six months!
Zhu Qiuguo, Founder and CEO of DeepRobotics, stated that the funds raised in this round will be used to further increase R&D investment, recruit more outstanding talents, and strengthen the development of quadruped robots and humanoid robots.
In terms of products, DeepRobotics has launched two new offerings this year: the Lynx M20, a wheel-legged robot designed for complex terrains and hazardous environments, and the DR02, an industrial-grade all-weather humanoid robot capable of stable operation in a wide temperature range from -20°C to 55°C.
On December 11, Beijing StarRobotix Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “StarRobotix”) announced the completion of over 100 million yuan in Angel+ round financing. Notably, unlike many enterprises focusing on robot hardware, StarRobotix positions itself as an embodied intelligence brain company, dedicated to building a “universal brain” that can be adapted to different robot platforms.
Founded on August 1, 2025, StarRobotix secured 100-million-yuan financing in just over four months, demonstrating its exceptional strength!
Sub-Sector Highlights: From Core Brains to Warehousing & Dexterous Manipulation
As a high-tech enterprise specializing in software and information technology services, its core product is the professional version of embodied intelligence brain—RoboBrain Pro, and it has independently developed a high-performance edge computing platform, the StarRobotix T5 Computing Platform.
In addition, the company has signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Beijing Yizhuang Robot Technology Industry Development Co., Ltd., planning to complete orders worth no less than 500 million yuan within three years. Meanwhile, it has jointly released embodied loading and unloading technology and a full-scenario automated loading and unloading solution with Zhejiang EP Equipment Co., Ltd., the world’s largest electric forklift manufacturer. Its universal brain technology has also been successfully applied to the Universal Assembly System, enabling intelligent and flexible assembly operations in automotive component and electronic product manufacturing, which effectively improves assembly efficiency and reduces labor costs.
On December 10, Shanghai Zhishi Robotics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Zhishi Robotics”) announced the completion of tens of millions of yuan in Series A+ financing, exclusively invested by Hidden Peak Capital.
Zhishi Robotics focuses on the R&D and innovation of warehousing equipment, committed to providing intelligent, efficient and flexible automated storage solutions. The funds raised in this round will be mainly used for technology R&D, product iteration and market expansion, further consolidating its position in the intelligent warehousing equipment sector. The company has established strategic cooperation with more than 60 system integrators worldwide, and successfully helped over 200 large and medium-sized enterprises in retail, cold chain, pharmaceutical, energy, chemical and industrial manufacturing sectors to upgrade their intelligent warehousing systems and meet their personalized business needs.
On December 8, Beijing LingSheng Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “LingSheng Technology”) announced the completion of two rounds of 100-million-yuan financing, namely Pre-A and Pre-A+. The funds will be mainly used for the large-scale mass production and delivery of its core product—the L-series humanoid robots, the continuous iteration of its real-scenario data collection and governance platform, and embodied world model.
As a major player in the humanoid robot track, LingSheng Technology is an innovative enterprise focusing on embodied intelligent robot R&D, founded by a team from Tsinghua University. It is dedicated to building a next-generation universal brain platform for humanoid robots, providing efficient and intelligent brain solutions for the humanoid robot industry. Based on its fully self-developed end-to-end embodied large model, it empowers humanoid robots with intelligent and generalized operation capabilities, which have been applied to multiple scenarios including industry, commerce and catering, and has signed cooperation orders with many leading domestic and foreign manufacturers.
In addition, Zhongke Guiji (Nanjing) Robotics Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Zhongke Guiji”) recently completed a new round of strategic financing, with the specific amount undisclosed.
Zhongke Guiji focuses on the field of general human-like dexterous manipulation for robot “upper limbs”. The funds raised in this round will be mainly used for the mass production of the Casia Hand series of industrial-grade dexterous hands, and the continuous iteration of the embodied large and small brain model for human-like dexterous manipulation. Through the coordinated evolution of software and hardware and integration with typical application scenarios, it will accelerate the commercialization of human-like dexterous manipulation capabilities.
Capital Trend Summary: Diversified Layout Shapes the Robotics Ecosystem
It is not difficult to see that capital’s attention to the robotics industry is no longer limited to a single type or application scenario, showing a diversified layout trend. The aforementioned enterprises cover multiple sub-sectors, from basic hardware and core “brains” to warehousing, logistics and special operations.
