Recently, the general embodied intelligence Robot Enterprise Uliqi Robot (UniX AI) announced the completion of a 500,000,000 yuan Pre-A funding. Old shareholders Xienuo Investment and Yonghua Investment have made multiple consecutive rounds of excess additional investments, and new institutions include Greenland Group, Keli Sensing, Huagong Venture Capital, Xinjing Fuying, Red Bird Qihang Fund, Yulin Industrial Investment, and other industrial and financial investors. As an important downstream application partner of Urich, Greenland Group joined as a strategic investor and will, together with Urich together around scenarios such as security, hotels, and health care, collaboratively promote the full closed-loop implementation of robot models, bodies, data, and solutions. Customers have further transformed from product users into industrial co-builders, marking that Urich's commercialization path is moving from demonstration verification toward real-world scenario applications, and further extending to long-term scenario collaboration and industrial co-building. Keli Sensing, Huagong Venture Capital, Red Bird Qihang Fund (supported by HKUST), Yulin Industrial Investment, etc. Listed companies, The addition of upstream and downstream chain partners, local industrial and university ecosystem-related strategic parties will further strengthen Urich's resource advantages in hardware supply chain synergy and university innovation ecosystems.

01 Productized solutions accelerate scenario implementation, and real operation data continuously expands the boundaries of robot capabilities

Continuously obtaining financing and deep support from industrial parties reflects the recognition of investors and industrial partners toward Urich's industrialization path: from full-stack self-research of software and hardware, to product engineering, and then to real-scene delivery, the company has gradually broken through key links.2026At the World Humanoid Robot Games this year, Uliqi won1Gold1Silver1Bronze, among which the hotel scene won the championship for two consecutive years and won a medal in the fire-fighting scene. The competition results are not only a form of honor, but also concentratedly verified the execution capabilities of robots in complex tasks.

Outside the competition arena, Uliqi has already achieved a stable monthly shipment of over 100 units, and maintained good collection and gross profit margin performance, continuously forming replicable and deliverable productized solutions in fields such as building security, hotels, supermarkets, and retail, and obtained orders of over 100 units from multiple benchmark customers. In the security field, the company has already partnered with multiple top real estate groups, Certis、Inspur, etc. Domestic and international Leading security listed companies have formed batch order deliveries; in the hotel sector, Uliqi robots have entered Hilton, All Seasons, Home etc. hotel chain brands and have commenced normalized operations; in the retail sector, Uliqi robots are in JD.com Qixian Coffee24Running continuously for hours Zero errors Completed2,156Cups of drinks Production, and set a Guinness World Record. As deployment scenarios expanded and real operation data continuously flowed back, the Urich team continuously pushed for product and algorithm iterations, continuously expanding the capability boundaries of the robots.

02 Driven by full-stack self-developed research to drive continuous iteration, transforming technical advantages into deliverable products

Urich insists on full-stack self-development of software and hardware, incorporating algorithm R&D and body engineering into a unified product chain: real tasks propose new requirements, product deployment brings back scene feedback, which in turn drives software and hardware collaborative iteration.

On the algorithm side, UniFlex An efficient generalization imitation learning framework helps robots learn manipulation skills from demonstrations; UniTouch A vision-tactile fusion model is oriented towards object perception and fine manipulation; UniCortex...then focuses on long-sequence task planning and execution. Compared to simply improving the success rate of a single grasp, this technical system focuses more on solving the problems of task understanding, connection, and continuous execution in complex environments.2026In [Year], Uliqi jointly released with domestic and foreign universities and research institutions UniTac research results on a unified multimodal tactile model, which were selected ECCV 2026. UniTac incorporating object attributes and sensor characteristics into a unified framework, exploring cross-sensor tactile understanding and generation, providing a physical perception technology foundation for robots to handle objects of different materials and shapes.

On the hardware side, The company has formed Wanda and Panther mature robot product platforms, self-developing key modules such as joint modules, bionic robotic arms, and motion control, and adapting to diverse operational requirements through different end effectors such as grippers and dexterous hands. The value of the modular architecture is not simply adding product models, but lies in improving the cross-task reuse efficiency of software and hardware capabilities, shortening the adaptation and delivery cycles for new scenarios. From product design, supply chain organization, to complete machine testing, delivery, and on-site deployment, Uliqi has established an engineering system to support continuous batch delivery. Since2025the end of the year, the company has stably achieved deliveries of over 100 units per month, with peaks exceeding300force-controlled humanoid arm orders./per month. Through joint co-creation with leading customers, Uliqi continues to polish robot products that are deliverable, fast to implement, and possess both cost-effectiveness and ease of use, and jointly promotes the large-scale landing of robot applications with industry ecosystem partners.

03 From scene implementation to industrial synergy, moving towards the new stage of large-scale replication

When robots truly enter the industry, cooperation models also need to be upgraded accordingly. Single-point deployment verified what robots“can do”, while to form continuous value in the industry, it is still necessary to further solve issues such as how to integrate into customer workflows, how to organize daily operations, and how to replicate in more projects. The joining of leading industrial partners enables Uliqi to jointly advance these topics with customers, rather than being explored solely by robot enterprises. This round Pre-A The round of financing will further support Uliqi in deepening embodied intelligence algorithm research and product iteration, perfecting the engineering delivery system, and expanding large-scale applications around existing business scenarios such as property, hotels, and retail. The company will also, through synergy with industrial investors, push more mature task solutions into real operation systems, gradually building replicable deployment and operation capabilities.

Uliqi founder and Chief Executive Officer Yang Fengyu stated:

“What the robot industry truly needs to answer is not how many spectacular demonstrations can be made, but whether customers can use them continuously in their daily work. In the past, we invested a large amount of energy into real scenarios, continuously polishing algorithms, products, and delivery to form productization capabilities; now, more and more industrial partners not only purchase robots but also choose to become Uliqi's investors and long-term partners. This gives us the opportunity to jointly integrate validated capabilities into more complete business processes with customers and push them toward large-scale applications. In the future, we will continue to adhere to‘letting robots truly do the work’,letting technical value be reflected in every real operation.”

From product delivery to industrial co-construction, this round of financing is a new starting point in the development process of Youliqi. In the future, the company will continue to use mass-producible robot products as the carrier and real customer needs as the guide, pushing general embodied intelligence deeper into industrial operation sites, and accelerating the transformation of technical value into commercial value.
