Star Era has officially announced the successful closure of a new financing round, amassing a substantial 1 billion yuan. This funding initiative was primarily led by CITIC Capital, with notable contributions from a consortium of major state-owned enterprises, esteemed financial investment institutions, and existing shareholders.
Guided by an AI-Native approach, Star Era has attained complete in-house research and development capabilities throughout the entire embodied AI value chain. The company has introduced three primary product lines: full-scale bipedal humanoid robots, wheeled service robots, and agile robotic hands. Presently, Star Era has forged deep collaborative partnerships and implemented operational deployments within logistics environments alongside industry leaders such as SF Express and China Post.
On the technological front, the company has been a trailblazer in developing a VLA (Vision-Language-Action) reinforcement learning framework grounded in world models. Looking forward, Star Era is set to concentrate its efforts on merging VLA with world models to construct a robust data flywheel infrastructure, aiming to transcend the current boundaries of general-purpose embodied AI capabilities.
