PsiBot reportedly raises ~$100M at $1.48B valuation, new AI unicorn

The startup trains robots with proprietary gloves and hardware capturing real-world motion data, a niche fueling China's embodied-AI unicorn wave.

• PsiBot, a Chinese embodied-AI startup, is raising close to $100 million at a $1.48 billion valuation, reportedly becoming a new unicorn, according to Bloomberg reporting.
• Founded in 2024, PsiBot builds end-to-end vision-language-action models for dexterous robot manipulation, using its proprietary Psi-SynEngine to capture real-world interaction data cheaply.
• PsiBot recently deployed its Psi-R2 embodied model with optical-cable maker YOFC to automate module inspection and packaging, cutting production loss rates by roughly 10%.
• PsiBot joins a record 67 new Chinese unicorns minted in the first half of 2026, with AI and robotics startups accounting for more than half of that total.
• PsiBot's jump shows even narrowly focused embodied-AI hardware plays can hit billion-dollar valuations fast, as investor enthusiasm spreads beyond chatbot-focused labs into robotics.
