Zhiyuan Robotics and Hillhouse Capital have jointly invested 10 million yuan to establish Shanghai Lingzhi Xinchuang Enterprise Management Partnership, with each party holding an equal 50% stake. In 2025, Zhiyuan Robotics secured Series B and B+ funding rounds led by Tencent and JD.com, and aims to prepare for a new financing round with a projected valuation of 15 billion yuan. The company is vigorously expanding its technological ecosystem by partnering with several listed firms to establish robotics enterprises and investing in numerous peer companies.
Founded in 2023, Zhiyuan Robotics boasts a core team with roots in Huawei. The company has introduced three major product lines: Expedition, Genie, and Lingxi, all of which have achieved commercial mass production of general-purpose robots. Notably, the 1000th robot rolled off the production line at the dawn of 2025.
