AI² Robotics raises $735M at $3B valuation for wheeled humanoid robots

Instead of waiting for a distant consumer future, AI² Robotics is actively pushing AlphaBot 2 into practical, structured environments where its wheel-and-arm layout shines: logistics, manufacturing, biotech, public service, and retail settings.

The company is targeting industrial applications and is avoiding the hype of promising consumer or household applications any time soon.

The funding announcement comes on the heels of other recent funding events in the humanoid market, including the pending IPO by Agility, funding rounds for Apptronik and Neura, and the acquisition of Kinisi Robotics by Bear Robotics.

AI² Robotics develops a wheeled mobile manipulator equipped with a humanoid torso and nimble five-fingered hands. The strategic decision to use a wheeled base over legged locomotion puts the company in the minority of Chinese firms developing humanoid-style robotics. Home
