The Chinese humanoid startup, also known as Star Action Era, has closed a massive Series A+ round led by Geely Capital, signaling strong industrial demand with a reported $70 million order book for 2025.
China is making significant strides in humanoid robotics, aiming to lead globally by 2027, supported by government investment and real-world data from its robust manufacturing industry. However, challenges and competition from the U.S. persist in a race that could redefine numerous industries.
A groundbreaking initiative by Shenzhen-based UBTECH is setting a new milestone in the field of robotics. For the first time, humanoid robots are being harnessed to work collaboratively in a "swarm intelligence" system at Geely’s Zeekr 5G smart factory.
