Revenue Grew Several-Fold in H1; Sunrise Chip Shipments Surpassed 8 Million Units
In the first half of 2026, D-Robotics' revenue grew several-fold year-over-year, with cumulative shipments of the Sunrise series chips exceeding 8 million units, marking its embodied AI business entering mass-production scale.
The acceleration in commercialization was driven by concentrated adoption by leading customers. Since its launch in November 2025, the Sunrise S600 — with its single-chip full-stack compute, high-reliability hardware design, and edge-cloud integrated toolchain — has been adopted by over 20 top-tier customers within six months, including Tashi Zhihang, Spirit AI, Independent Variable Robotics, ZhiZai Wujie, UBTECH, Pacini Perception, Beijing Humanoid Robot Innovation Center, Humanoid Robot (Shanghai) Company, and Xiaoyu Intelligent Manufacturing.
Currently, D-Robotics' customer coverage in the embodied AI sector has surpassed 50%. The Sunrise S600's partnerships span humanoid robots, industrial wheeled robots, 3C flexible manufacturing, embodied large models, and multimodal perception, with most projects having entered mass-production shipment stages.
D-Robotics is leveraging chips, development toolchains, and integrated hardware-software infrastructure to help more embodied AI products move from technology validation to scaled mass production, working with industry partners to collectively drive the embodied AI industry toward maturity.
