CASID
国科投资
CASID (国科投资) appears in elsewhere's corpus as an active Chinese investment institution backing robotics and embodied AI deals in 2025–2026 — though the corpus contains no standalone profile of the fund itself (founding history, size, or mandate), only its deal activity.
What the deal flow shows: it co-led Independent Variable Robotics' nearly 1 billion yuan Series A+ alongside Alibaba Cloud in September 2025, and joined subsequent follow-on rounds as the company's valuation passed 20 billion yuan ; it co-led Astribot's hundreds-of-millions A++ round with Ant Group in November 2025 ; it followed into Noetix Robotics' nearly 1 billion yuan Series B in early 2026 ; and it joined the investor group behind AlignBase's "omni-factor large model" industrial AI raise in mid-2026 . In short: a state-name-affiliated investor leaning hard into embodied AI and robotics over the past year — but for anything beyond its portfolio footprint, elsewhere's corpus doesn't cover it.
