PsiBot raises over $100M from industrial backers for dexterous robotics AI

Auto parts makers and material suppliers are betting directly on humanoid manipulation instead of just watching robotics startups from the sidelines.

• PsiBot, a Chinese embodied-AI startup, closed a new funding round of more than $100 million backed by industrial investors including Ningbo Tuopu Group, a Chery Holdings-affiliated fund, Lens Technology, 37 Interactive Entertainment, Wuhu Investment Holding Group and Fosun Fortune Capital.
• PsiBot focuses on dexterous manipulation robotics, developing a dual-system architecture pairing its Psi-R2 operation-policy model with the Psi-W0 action-conditioned world model.
• Existing shareholder Zhuhai Technology Industry Group also continued to invest, suggesting the round extends prior institutional confidence rather than being a first outside validation.
• Proceeds will fund embodied-world-model research, human-operation data collection, and deployments targeting logistics and advanced manufacturing.
• The raise lands days after XPeng's robotics unit closed a record $900M round at a $6.3B valuation and Galbot raised roughly $370M at a $3.27B valuation, underscoring how fast capital is flowing into China's embodied-AI sector.
• Industrial and manufacturing conglomerates joining as strategic backers, rather than pure financial VCs, signals that Chinese supply-chain players see embodied AI as a near-term operational tool, not just a speculative bet.
