RobotEra raises over $200M for humanoid logistics deployment
RobotEra’s financing follows L7 deployments at more than ten logistics centres with SF Group and China Post.
RobotEra raised more than $200 million in a new funding round led by SF Group, HSG and IDG Capital, with participation from investors including Hillhouse, CICC Capital, CCB Private Equity, Zhongguancun Science City and Taihu Lake Fund. The Beijing company said the round followed deployments across more than ten logistics centers with China Post and SF Group, and that it had begun thousand-unit deliveries in the second quarter of 2026.
RobotEra was founded in Beijing in 2023 with roots in Tsinghua University. It develops robot bodies, dexterous hands, joints, actuators and control software internally.
In 2024, its XBot-L humanoid walked on the Great Wall, handling uneven stone paths, stairs and outdoor terrain. The demonstration was tied to perceptive reinforcement learning methods that allowed the robot to recognize changing road conditions and adjust its gait.
Humanoid-Gym, a reinforcement-learning framework for humanoid locomotion, was published in April 2024 by Xinyang Gu, Yen-Jen Wang and Jianyu Chen. The paper says the framework was verified on RobotEra’s XBot-S and XBot-L humanoids with zero-shot simulation-to-real transfer, using training in Isaac Gym and verification across physical simulation before real-world deployment.
RobotEra said its L7 humanoids had entered more than ten logistics centres through work with China Post and SF Group. It reported that several sites had reached more than 85% of human-level efficiency, with robots operating 24 hours a day. The company said thousand-unit deliveries began in the second quarter of 2026.
RobotEra said the new capital and deployment revenue would support expansion across logistics, automotive, electronics and service-sector applications.
The company has presented humanoid platforms alongside dexterous hands and says it develops more than 95 percent of its core components internally, including actuation systems, humanoid robot platforms and robotic hands.
