On May 28, 2025, marking its first anniversary of independent operations, D-Robotics — a subsidiary of Horizon Robotics-W (9660.HK) — announced the completion of a $100 million Series A round. The round drew strong interest from numerous domestic and international investors, with Hillhouse, 5Y Capital, Linear Capital, Hermitage Capital, Unity Ventures, Vertex Growth, Monolith, Dunhong Capital, Boiling Point Capital, Plum Ventures, and Huangpu River Capital all participating, injecting powerful momentum into D-Robotics' accelerated build-out of its embodied AI ecosystem.
Since its founding, D-Robotics has remained committed to its vision of "becoming the Wintel of the robotics era," dedicated to building full-stack, hardware-software integrated, edge-cloud collaborative development infrastructure that makes building smarter robots simpler. Commercially, it has achieved comprehensive breakthroughs: from scaled deployment in consumer robotics markets, to incubating diverse categories of emerging intelligent robots, to collaborative innovation with leading embodied AI enterprises — all driving the intelligent evolution and scaled adoption of robotics.
Pioneering a Full-Stack Product System from Chips to Algorithms to Software
Complete Product Portfolio Covering 5–500 TOPS*
Drawing on years of technical accumulation and industry experience, D-Robotics has built a complete product system covering chips, algorithms, and software. Addressing the rapidly emerging and increasingly segmented scenario demands of intelligent robots — from consumer to industrial applications — it has established a complete product layout spanning 5 to 500 TOPS* across all compute tiers, fully satisfying edge computing needs for humanoid robots, wheeled-legged robots, quadruped robotic dogs, service and companion robots, logistics AMRs, and more.
To accelerate embodied intelligent robot deployment, D-Robotics will officially launch the RDK S100 robot development kit in June, targeting embodied intelligent robots. The platform delivers hundred-TOPS-level compute power with a powerful heterogeneous architecture design, making it the industry's first single-SoC compute-and-control integrated platform, enabling collaborative computation for robot perception and motion control. The platform has already secured early adoption from several top industry partners including Leju Robotics, LimX Dynamics, RealMan, Institute for AI Industry Research (AIR), QiuZhi Technology, and Guoxunxinwei.
Empowering Millions of Robots to Enter Homes Annually Nearly 100,000 Robot Developers Worldwide
In household consumer robotics markets with the largest user bases — such as robot vacuums and robotic lawn mowers — D-Robotics' Sunrise series intelligent computing chips have been fully deployed across best-selling products from industry leaders including ECOVACS and Cloud Whale, with cumulative shipments exceeding 5 million units and growing by millions annually, bringing intelligent innovation experiences to users worldwide.
While deepening its presence in consumer markets, D-Robotics has actively driven developer ecosystem building, empowering over 200 small and medium creators and incubating nearly 100 emerging intelligent robot categories — spanning golf robots, pool robots, tennis robots, home companion robots, and other innovative form factors. It has nearly 100,000 developer users growing at 100% annually, spread across more than 20 countries including Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Malaysia, the Netherlands, France, Germany, Spain, and China.
In university ecosystem development, D-Robotics has built a complete embodied AI talent cultivation ecosystem spanning graduate education, undergraduate education, vocational education, and K-12 — a full pipeline from large to small. Partner universities have expanded from 20 to over 200, including top institutions such as Tsinghua University, Nanjing University, and Shanghai Jiao Tong University, gathering momentum for cultivating future robotics professionals through comprehensive enablement support.
