D-Robotics has raised $400 million in Series C funding to expand its hardware and software infrastructure for AI-powered robots, with the round including strategic investment from an unnamed global internet company and other institutional investors. The funding comes as the company reports rapid commercial growth with revenue increasing several times year over year in H1 2026 and cumulative Sunrise chip shipments surpassing 8 million units.
The article explores the current state of humanoid robots in real-world work environments, noting that while capital enthusiasm has driven valuations exceeding 600 billion yuan for leading companies, the technology remains insufficient for large-scale deployment—robots are likened to '4-year-old level' capabilities. The World Robot Conference revealed a cognitive gap between investor expectations and the current technical limitations of embodied intelligence systems.
Unitree Robotics, China's first humanoid robot company to list on the A-share market, made its debut on Shanghai's STAR market with a record-breaking IPO that raised approximately 6.1 billion yuan ($848 million) and was oversubscribed by retail investors over 8,000 times. The IPO values the company at about 60.99 billion yuan, setting a valuation anchor for the global humanoid robot industry and shifting the sector from thematic investment toward industrial pricing. Industry experts noted that whether Unitree can justify its valuation will depend on scaling orders from factories and industrial customers.
