X Square Robot completes Series C to build full-stack embodied AI platform

X Square Robot completes Series C to build full-stack embodied AI platform

Key takeaway

  • X Square Robot, a Chinese embodied AI startup founded in 2023, raised a Series C investment that values the company over RMB20 billion.

  • The company is building a full-stack platform combining AI foundation models, custom robots, and a data collection system designed to help machines learn tasks across diverse real-world environments rather than being programmed for a single purpose.

  • It has already launched household cleaning services and commercial pilots in care facilities and logistics, positioning embodied AI as a practical near-term application.

3 Key Points

  1. What happened

    Shenzhen-based X Square Robot, founded in 2023, completed four consecutive financing rounds culminating in a Series C investment. The company is now valued over RMB20 billion and will use the funding to accelerate development of its embodied AI foundation models, robotics hardware, data infrastructure and commercial deployments.

  2. Why it matters

    X Square Robot is pursuing a full-stack approach to embodied AI—combining foundation models, custom robotics hardware, and real-world training data collection into a single system. This approach may enable robots to learn and adapt across diverse physical environments (homes, care facilities, factories, logistics centers) rather than being programmed for a single task, addressing a fundamental challenge in robotics deployment.

  3. What to watch

    The company introduced WALL-B (an embodied AI foundation model) in April and recently launched the QUANXTA Zero Series, a data collection and training platform that reaches nearly 100 demonstrations per hour—more than double the efficiency of conventional teleoperation methods. X Square Robot has also begun real-world deployments: an AI-powered household cleaning service in Shenzhen and Beijing (in partnership with 58.com), and commercial pilots in elderly care and logistics.

FAQ

What is X Square Robot's core technology?
The company's WALL family of embodied AI foundation models is built on a World Unified Model architecture that combines perception, language, action and physical prediction within a single network. This approach is intended to improve multimodal understanding, spatial reasoning and zero-shot generalisation, enabling robots to perform previously unseen tasks in unfamiliar environments.
How does X Square Robot's data collection differ from existing robotics methods?
The company's QUANXTA Zero Series platform integrates data collection, synchronisation, automated cleaning, intelligent annotation, model training and evaluation into a single closed-loop system. The flagship QUANXTA Zero G1 can reach nearly 100 demonstrations per hour—more than double the efficiency of conventional teleoperation methods—while incorporating automated downstream annotation and sensor synchronisation within one millisecond.
Where are X Square Robot's robots already being deployed?
The company has launched an AI-powered household cleaning service in Shenzhen and Beijing in partnership with 58.com, introduced the 'X Family Member Program' allowing robots to live with families, and entered a strategic partnership with a senior living provider to deploy embodied robots capable of delivering items and assisting with cleaning in elderly care settings.
