ROBOTERA gets Series A funding, partners with UNIDO on embodied intelligence - The Robot Report

ROBOTERA, a Beijing-based robotics company founded in 2023, recently secured nearly RMB 1 billion (approximately $140 million USD) in Series A+ funding to advance its development of humanoid and service robots. The company focuses on embodied intelligence—the integration of robotics and artificial intelligence—and operates three main product lines: bipedal humanoid robots, wheeled service robots, and dexterous robotic hands. ROBOTERA’s humanoid robots have demonstrated notable real-world capabilities, including autonomous walking in snow and record-setting jumps at the 2024 World Humanoid Robot Games. Its XHAND 1 dexterous hand, optimized for reinforcement learning, is widely used in research labs globally. In a strategic move to promote industrial development aligned with the UN’s 2030 Sustainable Development Goals, ROBOTERA signed a cooperation agreement with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO). This partnership focuses on deploying embodied intelligence technologies in manufacturing, logistics, and commercial services to improve efficiency, working
