According to Yingke, the intelligent garden robot brand, Hanyang Technology (Yarbo), has completed a new round of financing of nearly 200 million yuan. This round of financing was invested by Songhe Capital, Wenrun Investment (under Wens Foodstuff Group Co., Ltd.), Annada, Xinlian Capital, and Longhua Capital, covering leading financial investment institutions, industrial capital of listed companies, and local government guiding funds. The financing funds will be mainly used for in - depth technology R & D, accelerating product iteration, and expanding global market channels. Gengxin Capital serves as the long - term financial advisor.

The injection of industrial capital will provide collaborative resources for Yarbo. Among them, backed by Wens Foodstuff Group Co., Ltd., Wenrun Investment is expected to provide support in supply chain optimization, production and manufacturing, and potential channel expansion. As a listed company in the field of motor drive, Annada will enhance Yarbo's vertical integration and technological advantages in core power components. Xinlian Capital is expected to provide industrial support in underlying technologies such as chips and electronic control.

With the tightening of environmental protection regulations and the increasing acceptance of automated and intelligent products by users, the transformation of traditional fuel - powered equipment to electrification and intelligence has become an irreversible trend. Data from Frost & Sullivan shows that the global market size of outdoor power equipment (OPE) exceeds 30 billion US dollars, among which snow - removal equipment occupies an important share.

Since its establishment in 2015, Yarbo has long been committed to the R & D and manufacturing of all - scenario general garden robots. Based on a clear differentiated competition strategy, the company avoids the highly competitive lawn - mowing robot market and instead enters the ultra - low - temperature snow - removal scenario with high - frequency demand and extremely high technical challenges.

After nearly a decade of several product iterations, it has formed a unique "1 + N" modular product form, that is, a single robot host can be adapted to multiple functional modules, including snow - sweeping/shoveling, lawn - mowing, leaf - blowing/collecting, and Smart Assist Module. It can remove snow in winter, mow the lawn in summer, and blow leaves in autumn, evolving from a single "seasonal tool" to an intelligent platform that can meet the annual gardening needs of families.

Recently, Yarbo's new M series modular garden robots were launched on the Kickstarter platform. The crowdfunding amount exceeded 10 million RMB within 6 hours of the launch, and it received pledges of over 1.56 million US dollars.

The M series is a new product line launched by Yarbo for small and medium - sized courtyards. While retaining the modular core, it can achieve an upgraded product experience of light weight and easy operation.

It continues Yarbo's multi - modular concept and adopts a design of "1 core host + 4 functional modules". One device can cover the four - season courtyard maintenance needs. The core host is compatible with four replaceable modules: lawn - mowing, snow - removal, debris - cleaning, and edge - trimming.

Among them, the lawn - mowing module can handle dense and wet grass, and the cutting height is adjustable; the snow - removal module is suitable for a low temperature of minus 25°C and can complete the cleaning before the snow accumulates; the debris - cleaning module can autonomously collect fallen leaves and grass clippings and supports the setting of multiple dumping points; the edge - trimming module can handle the corners of the courtyard without manual secondary trimming.

One device can cover four - season usage scenarios, which solves the long - standing pain points of users, such as equipment piling up and low utilization rates.

In terms of technical configuration, it is also more in line with the usage habits of small and medium - sized courtyards. The Yarbo M series is equipped with a multi - sensor fusion navigation system of lidar, NetRTK, and AI vision. The all - terrain tracks can run on a 35° steep slope to avoid the machine being trapped; its 630W wireless fast - charging is three times the industry's conventional standard, and the 20Ah battery can support a maximum coverage of 1.5 acres of courtyard.

Currently, the Yarbo M series has launched four hosts: M10, M10i, M20, and M20i, which are suitable for different needs of entry - level, mainstream, and advanced users. These detailed adjustments all point to the same goal: to bring intelligent courtyard maintenance from large - sized houses to more ordinary families.

As a consumer - grade snow - removal robot company that has achieved large - scale mass production and delivery globally, Yarbo has solved a series of product problems such as battery self - heating in an extremely cold environment of minus 25°C, snow - cover perception, and snow dynamics processing. This technological ability has been verified in real - world environments such as multiple heavy snowstorms in North America in 2025. The previously launched Y series of Yarbo has also proven the feasibility of the modular concept in the North American market.

Official data shows that the sales volume of Yarbo's products in 2025 increased rapidly compared with the previous year. Among them, the revenue performance of the modular sets with a unit price of over 5,000 US dollars on Amazon and various overseas independent websites further verifies its positioning in the high - end household market.

Currently, Yarbo's global layout is accelerating comprehensively. The company has established an operation center in New York, USA, and plans to replicate the mature local model to other high - value markets such as Europe. At the same time, it is in contact with the global garden equipment dealer network to quickly build a channel system, laying the foundation for the next stage of scale expansion.
