5Y Capital led the company's Pre-A round in late 2020, with MiraclePlus and Damo Venture also participating , then re-upped alongside MiraclePlus when Direct Drive Tech closed its Series A of nearly RMB 100 million in October 2022 .

张笛 has described the company's take on general-purpose humanoid robots as incremental rather than all-at-once—"cutting sausage," in his phrase, with functions penetrating gradually rather than a single grand release .
