Meituan led the investment in Xinuo Future, with the total market value of its industrial shareholders exceeding 5 trillion yuan
Recently, dexterous hand enterprise Xynova announced the completion of its 500 million RMB Series A+ financing round. This round was led by Meituan, with participation from NIO Capital, China Merchants Capital, and a leading internet giant. Existing shareholder Xiaomi Strategic Investment continued to increase its stake, while Lightsource Capital continued to serve as the exclusive financial advisor. With this, Xynova has completed a total of four financing rounds amounting to approximately 1.5 billion RMB, officially entering the unicorn ranks.
Founded at the end of 2024, Xynova is one of the few domestic dexterous hand enterprises in China with full-stack self-development and in-house manufacturing capabilities spanning motors, motor controllers, ball screws, and algorithms. To date, the company has received investments from leading industrial capital players including CATL, Xiaomi, JD.com, Li Auto, Meituan, and NIO. The total market value of its industrial shareholders exceeds 5 trillion RMB, forming an industrial capital matrix that covers new energy vehicles, consumer electronics, e-commerce logistics, local life services, and other sectors. Notably, Xynova is the only dexterous hand company in the embodied intelligence track that has secured lead and follow-on investments from 7 leading internet giants and new energy vehicle manufacturers: Angel Round (CATL, Xiaomi), Pre-A Round (JD.com), Series A Round (Li Auto), Series A+ Round (Meituan, NIO, a leading internet giant).
Meituan, the lead investor of this round, stated: "We believe the key to robots creating value ultimately lies in their ability to truly integrate into real scenarios and complete complex tasks. Dexterous operation is precisely the critical bridge connecting intelligent decision-making with the physical world. Therefore, we regard high-degree-of-freedom five-finger dexterous hands as an indispensable component for the final form of humanoid robots. Xynova is a representative player in the high-DOF dexterous hand track. It has not only launched a highly competitive cable-driven dexterous hand solution, but also adheres to vertical integration and full-stack self-development, combining technological innovation, engineering capabilities, and mass production potential. We look forward to seeing the company's products deployed in real scenarios in the future, accelerating the large-scale commercial application of robotics technology."
Xiaomi Strategic Investment has participated in multiple financing rounds since the angel round, continuously increasing its investment in the core component track of dexterous hands.
Currently, Xynova has launched the world's first hybrid-driven dexterous hand Xynova Flex 2 combining cable drive and direct drive. The product made its debut at the ICRA exhibition in June 2026, and will have its domestic premiere at the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC) held in Shanghai in July. The company is simultaneously advancing its annual production capacity plan, expecting to achieve a delivery capacity of 10,000 units by the end of 2026.
As a full-stack solution provider for general dexterous operation, Xynova's brand mission is "With dexterous hands, delve into the precision of production, and simplify the complexity of daily life", dedicated to providing scalable dexterous operation solutions for embodied intelligence.
