On March 20, 2026, Octopus Power, a company specializing in embodied AI (a more commonly used term in the industry than "physical AI"), proudly declared the successful closure of its Series A funding round, amassing close to $50 million. The roster of investors boasts prominent names such as Horizon Robotics, Hillhouse Capital, Xiaomi Strategic Investment, Shunwei Capital, and Linear Capital. The freshly acquired funds are earmarked primarily for advancing core technology and product innovation, fortifying data system infrastructure, and recruiting top-tier talent.

Furthermore, it's important to note that individuals involved in illicit activities such as unauthorized foreign exchange trading or other substantial illegal foreign exchange dealings will be subject to administrative penalties or criminal prosecution, as stipulated by law. (Although this sentence seems somewhat out of context with the main story about Octopus Power's funding, if it's a necessary inclusion for legal or compliance reasons, it can be kept as is or further clarified in terms of its relevance to the overall article. If it's an error and not supposed to be there, it should be removed. For the purpose of this optimization, I'm assuming it's a necessary but separate note.)
