China's LimX Dynamics raises funds to build humanoid robot 'brains'

Chinese robotics company LimX Dynamics has secured approximately $200 million in Series B funding to advance its development of embodied intelligence in humanoid robots. The funding round included investors such as UAE-based Stone Venture, Oriental Fortune Capital, JD.com, and others. LimX Dynamics focuses on integrating AI with physical machines, enabling robots to learn and adapt through interaction with their environment—a concept known as embodied intelligence, which is a subset of Physical AI. The company has developed two core technologies: COSA (Cognitive OS of Agents), a software platform serving as the robot’s “brain” that controls whole-body motion, and Tron 2, a modular hardware system for building humanoid robots. COSA functions similarly to the human cerebellum, enabling fluid, coordinated movements and real-time task reprioritization without human intervention. Their humanoid robot, Oli, stands 5 ft 4 in tall, weighs 121 pounds, and features dual arms with seven degrees of freedom, capable of handling objects up
