Robotics capital moves — 29 June 2026–5 July 2026

Quantum Systems announced the signing of a $1.2 billion Series D at approximately $8 billion post-money, co-led by Blackstone, Noteus, Airbus and Advent. The announcement establishes a signed financing agreement; it does not separately confirm completion of the round.

The capital is intended to expand production, strengthen supply chains and develop software and AI across air, land and sea. MOSAIC UXS connects platforms, sensors and partner technologies into interoperable autonomous systems. Quantum also deepened its Airbus collaboration and reported more than 19,000 missions by its systems in Ukraine during 2025, alongside an expanding international manufacturing footprint.

Robotic hands and end-effectors.

In South Korea, robotic hand developer Tesollo formally entered the public markets process after appointing KB Securities as IPO lead underwriter following completion of its Series B financing.

China’s securities regulator approved Unitree’s IPO registration on July 1, allowing the robot manufacturer to proceed with a proposed Shanghai STAR Market offering. The approval is valid for 12 months and requires issuance to follow the submitted prospectus and underwriting plan. Unitree’s proposed RMB4.20 billion fundraising remains an offering target at this edition’s date.

The prospectus allocates approximately RMB2.02 billion to intelligent-robot model research, RMB1.11 billion to robot hardware research, RMB445 million to new robot products and RMB624 million to a manufacturing base. Unitree develops humanoid and quadruped systems for research, industrial and consumer uses, with its in-house technology spanning robot hardware and control.

The May prospectus reports that humanoids generated 51.78% of 2025 product revenue, up from 27.68% in 2024. It also reports more than 5,500 humanoid shipments in 2025, explicitly excluding wheeled dual-arm robots. These operating disclosures explain the proposed investment in models, hardware and production capacity; they are separate from the proceeds of the planned IPO.

Hong Kong also saw a wave of robotics-related listings. Rokae Robotics launched its IPO, while Laifual Drive completed its listing, bringing one of China's largest harmonic reducer manufacturers to public markets. EACON also launched its Hong Kong offering focused on autonomous mining, while True Health Medical listed as one of China's surgical robotics developers.

Outside robotics hardware, autonomous driving company Momenta launched a Hong Kong IPO targeting up to US$751 million, highlighting continued investor appetite for autonomy platforms.

AlphaBot robots, AlphaBrain and scaled production.

Shenzhen-based AI² Robotics raised nearly RMB 5 billion, roughly $700 million, in new financing.

CLS reports the round takes the company’s valuation above RMB 20 billion, or roughly $2.8 billion.

AI² says the funding will support iteration of its “robot brain,” scaled production, and development across its model, hardware and scenario stack.

The company develops AlphaBot semi-humanoid general-purpose robots around its Alpha Brain and NeuroVLA model work.

AI²’s own production line started in September 2025, with annual capacity now above 2,000 units. The company is also planning a tens-of-thousands-unit production line in H2 2026.

WALL embodied-AI model stack and Quanta robot line.

Shenzhen-based X Square Robot says it has completed another round sequence after its Xiaomi-led Series B in April.

Chinese media reports say the company has closed B+, B++ and C rounds, taking its post-money valuation above RMB 20 billion, roughly $2.8 billion.

Named investors include China Mobile, the National AI Industry Investment Fund, Sequoia China, IDG Capital, Source Code Capital, Dachen Caizhi and CICC Capital.

The company develops embodied-AI foundation models and semi-humanoid general-purpose robots through its WALL model stack and Quanta robot line.

Founded in late 2023, X Square has already drawn capital from Xiaomi, Alibaba Cloud, ByteDance, Meituan, Sequoia China and other major strategic and financial investors.
