Yesterday, Agibot has secured another round of funding.
It is reported that Agibot recently completed a new round of financing worth hundreds of millions of yuan, led by **Tencent**. This marks Tencent’s first investment in the embodied intelligence wave. Several industry players and existing shareholders participated in the follow-on investment, including **Longqi Technology**, **Wolong Electric**, Huafa Group, and **BlueRun Ventures**.
Agibot is currently negotiating a new funding round at a valuation of **15 billion yuan**, making it one of the hottest startups in the venture capital circle. The company became a “unicorn” in its founding year.
In the humanoid robotics field, Agibot is a standout. Its co-founder is renowned tech influencer “Zhi Hui Jun” (real name: Peng Zhihui). In 2020, Peng joined Huawei through its “Genius Youth” program but left in late 2022 to start his own venture. Known for developing innovative robots, Peng, also called the “Wild Iron Man,” has 2.73 million followers on Bilibili.
As a “star enterprise” in China’s humanoid robotics sector, Agibot has completed nine funding rounds to date. Its previous round was a Series A++++++ in September last year. Existing investors include **Hillhouse Capital**, **CDH Investments**, **Sequoia China**, **BYD**, **iSoftStone**, Sanhua Holding Group, and **BlueRun Ventures**.
Currently, Agibot has three main product lines: **Expedition**, **Genie**, and **Lingxi**. The Expedition series targets commercial scenarios, with bipedal humanoid robots Expedition A1 and A2. Genie is a wheeled, dual-arm robot (G1) for general embodied operations, while Lingxi focuses on home-use scenarios with compact humanoid robots.
On March 10, 2025, Agibot launched the world’s first embodied base model for humanoid robots, **Genie Operator – 1 (GO-1)**, trained on millions of real-world machine datasets. Using the ViLLA (Vision-Language-Latent Action Planning-Action) framework, the model learns from vast internet video and text data, enabling robots to perceive environments, understand language, and execute actions across home, office, commercial, and industrial scenarios.
On March 11, 2025, Agibot unveiled the bipedal interactive humanoid robot **Lingxi X2**. With 28 degrees of freedom and weighing 33.8 kg, Lingxi X2 integrates an affective computing engine and the multimodal interaction model “Silicon Light Dynamic Language.” It boasts advanced mobility, interaction, and task execution capabilities—running, jumping, turning, riding scooters, balancing on segways, and cycling. It also achieves millisecond-level responsiveness for natural human interaction.
For mass production, Agibot’s Shanghai Lingang factory—the city’s first dedicated humanoid robot production facility—began operations in October 2024. The Phase 1 factory features standardized assembly lines for scalable manufacturing.
On January 6, 2025, Agibot announced it had **produced over 1,000 humanoid robots**, including 731 bipedal robots and 269 wheeled general-purpose units, positioning itself as a leader in mass production within the industry.
