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.
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.
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.
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.
