ROBOTERA gets Series A funding, partners with UNIDO on embodied intelligence - The Robot Report
Robotera asserted that its platforms offer high performance and real-world capabilities. Its full-size humanoid demonstrated its environmental adaptability with autonomous walking in snow in January 2024.
Key takeaways
The most recent developments in humanoid robotics include Agile Robots SE’s launch of Agile ONE, its first industrial‑grade humanoid designed to work safely alongside people on factory floors, and the continued rollout of 1X Technologies’ NEO platform, which showcases sleek design and advanced tele‑operation skills while promising a fully autonomous consumer version by 2026. In China, Unitree has demonstrated its larger H2 humanoid in combat‑style demos, highlighting a new full‑body motion‑capture tele‑operation system and upgraded hands that enable punch‑, kick‑ and knee‑based movements. Meanwhile, Robotera secured a Series A round and partnered with UNIDO to advance embodied intelligence, with its full‑size humanoid achieving record‑breaking long‑ and high‑jumps at the World Humanoid Robot Games and showing autonomous walking in snow earlier this year. Humanoid, the Saudi‑based startup, announced that its bipedal robot can begin walking within 48 hours of assembly, has amassed 19,500 pre‑orders, and has completed several proof‑of‑concept deployments ahead of a 2026 rollout. Finally, Xpeng’s recent onstage reveal of a new humanoid signals the company’s intention to move toward mass production by the end of 2026, aiming to place hundreds of units in public venues for tasks such as crowd management and retail assistance.

The robot also set records with its 1.47 m (4.8 ft.) long jump and 95.64 cm (3.1 ft.) high jump at this year’s World Humanoid Robot Games. Founded in 2023, Robotera said it is building “general-purpose robots” that can learn, adapt, and act through continuous interaction with the physical world. The Beijing-based company currently operates three core product lines: bipedal humanoid robots, wheeled service robots, and dexterous hands.
Robotera claimed that it has already deployed its systems with nine of the world’s top 10 most valuable technology companies.
