RoboParty has secured angel + round financing from Shunwei Capital and Xiaomi Strategic Investment. The first batch of hundreds of orders has been delivered, completing the open-source business closed-loop.
Recently, 「RoboParty」 announced the completion of an angel + round of financing worth tens of millions of US dollars. The financing was led by Shunwei Capital, with additional investment from Xiaomi Strategic Investment. This round of financing came less than a month after the previous one, and Light Source Capital served as the incubator and exclusive financial advisor.
With Shunwei Capital leading this round of investment and Xiaomi Strategic Investment making its third round of additional investment, the company will further obtain resource support in multiple aspects such as the supply chain, industrial ecosystem, and global expansion, promoting the fully open - source bipedal humanoid robot to reach a wider range of developers, schools at home and abroad, top labs of large enterprises, and industrial application scenarios.
Competitions and Open - Source Awards: Ranked Top 3 Globally at ICRA, Winning Multiple Industry Recognitions in 100 Days of Open - Source
At the technical competition level, the RoboParty team recently participated in the ICRA Reasoning to Action competition with RPVLA and won the third place globally. The Reasoning to Action track is based on a high - fidelity simulation environment and real - world data distribution, constructing a unified evaluation system around real - world multi - scenario tasks such as logistics, office work, and daily services. It focuses on examining the robot's closed - loop ability from semantic understanding, task reasoning to action execution, as well as the Sim2Real generalization ability of the algorithm between the simulation and real environments. Ranking among the global top 3 this time means that RoboParty's full - stack capabilities in perception, reasoning, motion control, and the coordination of the ontology system have been verified in the international top - level evaluation system.
Meanwhile, the global influence of RoboParty's open - source ecosystem is expanding rapidly. Since the open - source launch, the GitHub project built by the company based on the fully open - source bipedal humanoid robot prototype has received 1,700 Stars, the number of the global developer community has exceeded 5,000, and it has won three major awards in the embodied intelligence industry: EAI OpenSource 10 Top Open - Source Projects, Yuanqi Award for the Best Open - Source Contribution in Embodied Intelligence, and LeadeRobot Humanoid Robot Scenario Development Award.
Delivery of the First Batch of Hundreds of Orders, Reproduction and Secondary Development by Seed Users, Forming a Real Commercial Closed - Loop
Feedback and reproduction from some users during the first - batch delivery of RoboParty RPO, with a very high purchase and utilization rate
At the commercialization level, RoboParty's first product and open - source platform have entered the stage of delivering the first batch of hundreds of units and user reproduction. The early RPO prototype verified the feasibility of the commercialization of the fully open - source bipedal humanoid robot and received positive feedback from users in domestic and foreign universities, labs, and the developer community.
The first - batch developer users carried out secondary development such as self - assembly, action reproduction, and algorithm debugging around the RoboParty platform, forming community stickiness and pre - ordering the next - generation product RP1. The feedback from users during the real assembly and use process also promotes RoboParty's continuous iteration in the ontology structure, motion control, documentation system, development tools, and the next - generation product RP1.
Attracting "Genius Teens" to Push the Upper Limit of Embodied Intelligence Technology with a High - Density Young Talent Team
In terms of organization and talent building, RoboParty is extending the "genius teen" label from the founder to an organizational ability. Centered around the founder Huang Yi, the company continuously attracts post - 2000 technical talents from top universities such as Tsinghua University, Peking University, Zhejiang University, Harbin Institute of Technology, Carnegie Mellon University, Stanford University, and the National University of Singapore, forming a full - stack high - density young team covering algorithms, WM, VLA, simulation, ontology control, and software - hardware systems.
In the future, RoboParty will continue to take open - source as the foundation, young talents as the engine, and real user scenarios as the driving force, continuously promoting the large - scale reproduction and industrialization of humanoid robots.
Shunwei Capital said: "RoboParty has full - stack technical strength and rapid iteration ability. It is a young team with a strong geek spirit and high talent density. The company is positioned for full - stack open - source in algorithms, control, and hardware whole machines, with a clear development idea and broad growth space. From the open - source project AlexBot to the first product RPO, the company has continuously iterated and optimized in aspects such as structural design and algorithm development, winning wide recognition and a solid market reputation. Under the new paradigm of embodied intelligence, data assets and first - mover barriers are the core battlegrounds, and the cross - ontology adaptation and ecological expansion capabilities determine the long - term value. RoboParty builds an ecosystem with developers, reducing the development threshold of humanoid robots and having a wide influence in the open - source community. In the long run, it is expected to use high - cost - performance, full - stack open - source humanoid robots as the carrier to build a product matrix of 'whole machines + joint modules + developer ecosystem' and become the core infrastructure for robot interaction entry, establishing hardware industry standards. We believe and look forward to this technically solid, continuously innovative, and vibrant team breaking boundaries and growing continuously."
