D-Robotics Closes $120M Series B1 to Accelerate Building Embodied AI Native Tech Foundation
Series A and Series B funding rounds totaled $220 million.
On March 16, D-Robotics announced the completion of a $120 million Series B1 funding round. Following its $100 million Series A completed in 2025, the company's total funding across Series A and B rounds has reached $220 million.
This round brought together a top-tier investment syndicate. Leading industrial investors including Synstellation Capital, DiDi, and Meituan Longzhu joined as new investors, alongside strategic investors such as Bairui Capital, Joyoung Family Office, Yongning Gaoxin, BAIC Capital, Jiukun Venture Capital, Xinlian Capital, and Yarui Capital. Tier-one financial investors including Jinqiu Fund, Xingrui Capital, Monad Ventures, Gengxin Capital, and Cedarlake Capital also participated. Meanwhile, existing shareholders Hillhouse, Vertex Growth (affiliated with Singapore's Temasek), Linear Capital, Hermitage Capital, Huangpu River Capital, 5Y Capital, and Plum Ventures all made outsized follow-on investments.
This financing round, uniting industry giants, core strategic investors, and leading institutions, will fully support D-Robotics' full-stack hardware and software R&D and product iteration, strengthening its embodied artificial intelligence-native technology foundation built on hardware-software synergy and edge-cloud integration, and driving the industry toward a new cycle of scaled, democratized development through systematic infrastructure.
Leading from Compute to Scenarios, Becoming the "Greatest Common Divisor" for Hit Robots Across All Categories
As the "greatest common divisor of the robotics industry" spanning all robot categories and the full cycle from technology development to scaled mass production, D-Robotics has built a comprehensive product system spanning chips, algorithms, and software to address three differentiated market needs: "mass-produced robot products, ubiquitous robot innovation applications, and future-bound general-purpose embodied intelligent robots." With a complete product portfolio covering 5–560 TOPS* across all compute tiers, the company horizontally addresses edge computing needs for humanoid robots, wheeled-legged robots, quadruped robot dogs, service companion robots, logistics AMRs, and other full scenarios, while vertically connecting the complete chain from cutting-edge technology innovation to mass production and landing. It has achieved substantial commercial and ecosystem results.
Over the past year, D-Robotics has worked in deep collaboration with industry-leading customers to produce a string of hit products, continuously building multiple industry benchmark products in core scenarios including robot vacuums, drones, robot dogs, and desktop companions: enabling Cloud Whale to pioneer the AI binocular perception era with the Xiaoyao 002 robot vacuum; helping Insta360 create the world's first panoramic drone, the Yingling Antigravity A1, reshaping the flying brain; and supporting Vbot in launching its intelligent companion robot dog, redefining the home intelligent companion. Backed by full-chain development infrastructure, D-Robotics continues to drive generational leaps in intelligent experience for robot products.
Technology-Aligned and Strategically Synergized, Accelerating the Build-Out of an "Embodied AI-Native" Technology Foundation
The robotics industry is currently entering a critical development cycle of rapid core technology innovation, explosive scaled mass production, and deep penetration of segmented scenarios. As Horizon Robotics' most important strategic partner in the robotics domain, D-Robotics maintains a deep collaborative relationship with Horizon Robotics built on shared technological roots and strategic alignment, with the vision of "becoming the Wintel of the robotics era" and a commitment to providing optimal solutions for the intelligent development of robotics.
Leveraging Horizon Robotics' BPU intelligent computing architecture — validated through tens of millions of units in mass production — and its industry-leading Foundation Model capabilities, D-Robotics focuses on building a chip, algorithm, and software system natively designed and deeply optimized for robotics scenario requirements. By creating an "embodied AI-native" technology foundation with hardware-software synergy and edge-cloud integration, and through a new computing paradigm of hardware-software collaboration and a full-chain development platform covering everything from simulation validation to physical deployment, the company continues to lower industry development barriers and accelerate the pace of robot intelligence evolution and scaled landing.
