Embodied AI Startup Zhishen Tech Raises Series B Led by UAE's StoneVenture

On September 20, Beijing-based embodied AI company Zhishen Technology announced it had completed a Series B funding round of several hundred million yuan. The round was exclusively led by StoneVenture from the UAE, with participation from Hongshan Capital, Yueke Finance, Neusoft, Haopeng Technology and other state-backed and industrial investors.

Zhishen Tech had previously received multiple investments from Moutai Fund, Zhiyuan Robotics, Keli Sensing and others. The company said the new funds will be used for R&D in robot hardware, embodied brain-and-cerebellum systems and task execution capabilities, as well as the iteration of its GSD autonomous navigation technology.

Founded in 2023, Zhishen Tech is among the world's first companies to mass-produce quadruped robots. It has developed the CHAMP series of integrated joint actuators and a lineup including quadruped robots and the humanoid robot Zhishen Yinyi NE01. As of June 2026, the company had mass-produced over 15,000 industry-grade embodied intelligent robots, with an annual production capacity of over 1 million self-developed joint modules.

Its products have been deployed in security patrol, power inspection, emergency rescue, education and entertainment scenarios.
