RoboScience raises hundreds of millions of yuan in fresh Series A round
What's the deal? Chinese embodied-AI startup RoboScience has closed a Series A2 round worth several hundred million yuan, the company announced in November.

Who else is in? Participants included Shuang Capital, 360 strategic investment, Guolian Tongbao, Jinding CapitalDealroom has a profile for this one. Try Dealroom →, and several listed company platforms. The mix of venture, industrial, and strategic backers signals broad interest in the company's robotics platform and embodied-AI models.
