Chinese AI lab DeepSeek has agreed to lead a seed round for Winverse AI, a robotics AI startup founded by ex-Tencent scientist Hu Han, at a valuation of about $400 million. Meituan's investment arm Long-Z has also committed to the deal, which is not yet finalized. The investment marks one of DeepSeek's largest bets on a startup and signals its push toward real-world robotics applications like factory-floor humanoid robots.
Dige Robotics (Digerobot) has completed a $400 million Series C financing round led by Mirae Asset, with strategic investment from Meituan and participation from a broad syndicate of government investment platforms and top-tier VC firms, including Linear Capital which increased its stake for the seventh consecutive round. The funds will support the Sunrise chip's full computing power product lineup and a full-link software platform for embodied AI spanning data collection, model training, simulation, and inference deployment. Sunrise series chips have cumulatively shipped over 8 million units, with client coverage in the embodied AI field exceeding 50%.
Unitree Robotics' stock crashed more than 50% in the 11 days following its August 19, 2026 Shanghai STAR Market IPO, losing roughly $30 billion in market value as investors questioned the valuation of a company whose founder admitted robots still lack the ability to handle factory work without retraining. The company raised 6.1 billion yuan in its IPO but remains valued at roughly 125 times its 2025 revenue, with most humanoid robot sales going to research and education buyers rather than industrial customers.
