AI2 Robotics this week reportedly raised CN¥1.2 billion ($144.7 million U.S.) to continue developing embodied AI. The company said it plans to use the funding to advance its model toward general-purpose humanoid robots.

Dr. Yangdong Eric Guo founded Shenzhen, China-based AI2 Robotics in 2023. The startup (not to be confused with the Allen Institute for AI or Ai2) said its AlphaBot wheeled humanoid robots integrate proprietary foundation models with machine learning and robust hardware. “Industry partners such as Yusys Technologies and SENTURY are focusing on commercial deployment scenarios,” said Pandaily.

AI2 Robotics also plans to update its AlphaBot series and expand production from 1,000 units per year in 2025 to 10,000 units this year. Display maker HKC has placed an order for 1,000 robots, and AI2 CEO Eric Guo told Reuters that he hopes to go public in one to two years.
