Yingke learned that Juewu Technology (Shenzhen) Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Juewu Technology"), an enterprise focusing on large-load all-terrain robots, recently announced the completion of a 100-million-yuan Series A financing round. This round of financing was participated in by investment institutions such as Huachuang Capital and Jiangxi Financial Holding Capital. Previously, the company had received investments from multiple institutions including Richvine Capital and Anker Innovations.

It is understood that after the robot products of Juewu Technology completed the preliminary verification in the real farmland environment, the company completed the Pre - A round of financing at the beginning of last year. The new round of financing at the end of last year was based on the company's progress in obtaining orders and large - scale deployment. Completing two rounds of financing in a row within a year also reflects to a certain extent the capital market's recognition of the company's technological path, commercialization progress, and development potential.

Founded in 2020, Juewu Technology is a hard - tech company focusing on large - load all - terrain robots. Different from the traditional special - purpose machinery path, the company has chosen a platform - based technical route, that is, through a unified robot chassis to adapt to different operation modules to meet the complex and changeable outdoor environment and diverse task requirements.

Based on the design concept of "deformable chassis + modular load", the company has self - developed a globally innovative modular deformable robot system for outdoor scenarios. A single robot platform can complete different operation functions by replacing the mounting modules. Its implementation in the agricultural field provides a more general solution to the practical problems of highly dispersed cultivation, planting, and management links in agricultural scenarios with significant differences in working conditions. The company's core products include the "Hechu T3000" for large - scale fields and the "Jilu G3000" for orchards. Both can be quickly reconfigured on the same set of core systems by replacing modules, just like "Transformers" to adapt to very different operation environments.

In terms of product iteration, Juewu Technology's robot system has undergone long - term on - site testing and version iteration in the outdoor environment of Xinjiang. The cumulative test mileage has exceeded 1 million kilometers, and it has completed nearly 40 minor versions of intensive iteration in 5 generations. At present, the relevant products have entered large - scale application in Xinjiang, Zhejiang and other places.

After deeply cultivating the Chinese market and verifying the business model, overseas expansion has become one of the important directions for this round of financing.

Currently, large - scale agricultural production in regions such as Europe, Australia, and Canada generally faces the problems of rising labor costs and labor shortages. The demand for automated and unmanned equipment continues to increase. Juewu Technology's autonomous cluster operation robot solution can meet the core needs of the overseas market, and the cost and deployment efficiency advantages brought by the platform - based architecture also give it certain competitiveness in terms of comprehensive economic efficiency.

The founder of the company said that the company will focus more on target - area testing and compliance preparation this year, including local regulations, channel systems, and product adaptation, and then continue to promote the substantial implementation in the overseas market.

In addition to the agricultural scenario, Juewu Technology has also begun to prudently and accurately explore cross - scenario extension opportunities. At the beginning of this year, the company cooperated with Qidi Environmental Sanitation to enter the urban emergency operation scenario by applying the robot platform to snow removal. The relevant exploration is mainly based on the technology transfer of chassis movement ability, low - temperature environment adaptability, and complex road - condition operation experience. Juewu Technology's large - load carrying capacity, off - road ability on various road conditions, and operation ability in a low - temperature environment of minus 30 degrees Celsius can meet the needs of urban emergency scenarios.

At the same time, the founder of the company also said that agriculture remains the core business direction, but the company will use the platform extensibility of the modular deformable robot system to enter new scenarios. This model not only reduces the marginal R & D cost of entering new scenarios but also obtains compound - increasing data and experience. In the future, Juewu Technology plans to gradually expand the application boundaries of the modular deformable robot system in other outdoor operation fields such as forestry and emergency services on the basis of continuously deepening its core agricultural business.

Investors' views:

Chen Huan, Partner of Huachuang Capital: Robots that can be implemented, applied, and have direct commercial value are the tracks that Huachuang Capital has been focusing on for a long time. Relying on the globally innovative modular deformation system design, Juewu Technology's large - load all - terrain outdoor robot platform has taken the lead in achieving large - scale commercial implementation in the agricultural scenario. The on - site polishing of more than 1 million kilometers fully proves the reliability of the technology and the scenario adaptability of the products. This round of financing will help Juewu Technology accelerate its global layout and expand into new scenarios. We firmly believe in the ability of the Juewu Technology team to have both strong R & D strength and solid commercial implementation capabilities, and we believe they will have a bright future.
