Stanford alumni found RoboScience, raising hundreds of millions in capital from industry investors

RoboScience, founded by Stanford AI Lab alumni Tianye and Shaolin, announced the completion of its A2 round financing led by Amber Capital, Hongruida Investment, and Shanghai Semiconductor Industrial Investment. The company has developed a full-stack embodied AI technology stack including the Visics general-purpose embodied large model with a VLOA architecture, the RoboMirage high-precision simulation engine, and the REX G1 omnidirectional humanoid robot platform. Key technical milestones include the demonstration of cross-body generalization where different end-effectors could be swapped and utilized within 30 seconds without retraining, and the public release of world model reasoning processes. The company aims to reduce data acquisition costs and enable scalable deployment across various hardware platforms and scenarios.
