EngineAI Secures Nearly ¥1 Billion to Power the Future of Humanoid Robotics

Akuura | SHENZHEN, China – July 24, 2025 — EngineAI, the rising innovator in humanoid robotics, has just wrapped up its Pre-A++ and A1 funding rounds, locking in nearly RMB 1 billion to fuel mass production and global expansion. With fresh backing from JD.com, XPeng-affiliated Rockets Capital, CATL Capital, Yintai Group, and more, the Shenzhen-based company is now shifting into high gear as it scales up real-world deployment of its advanced embodied AI systems.

What’s New?
These latest funding rounds signal massive investor confidence in EngineAI’s ability to deliver real-world solutions in humanoid robotics. XPeng-backed Rockets Capital led the Pre-A++ round, while JD.com took the reins in the A1 round, joined by other strategic and institutional players including CATL Capital, TH Capital, and Fortune Capital affiliate Guochen Venture Capital. The new capital will help EngineAI expand trial production, diversify product offerings, and strengthen its position in the global robotics market. Notably, some of the company’s production lines have already surpassed initial output targets, underscoring the market’s growing demand.

Built for the Real World
EngineAI stands out by solving one of robotics’ biggest hurdles: bridging the gap between simulated and real-world environments. With proprietary joint modules that boast industry-leading torque, explosive power, and rotational speed, EngineAI’s robots can perform high-precision maneuvers like sprints, complex dance routines, and even front flips — all with millimeter-level accuracy. The company’s hybrid approach combines traditional control systems with reinforcement learning, resulting in intelligent robots that are agile, reliable, and ready for both industrial and consumer applications.

Strategic Moves and Massive Potential
Backed by projections that the humanoid robotics market will surpass $100 billion by 2030, EngineAI is betting big on its “open-source hardware + ecosystem profit-sharing” model. By collaborating with top-tier partners like NVIDIA, Amazon, JD.com, Tencent, and ByteDance, the company is accelerating robotics adoption across industries — from logistics and manufacturing to hazardous field operations and interactive tourism. Its growing developer ecosystem ensures a steady stream of innovations built on its hardware foundation.

Next-Gen Growth Plans
The newly raised funds will supercharge EngineAI’s roadmap for the second half of 2025:

• Product Development: A 5x expansion of the production team is in the works as the company ramps up deliveries of its full humanoid and bipedal product line.
  
• Technology Leadership: Intensified R&D in embodied AI will push its core technologies toward commercial readiness, further widening its global lead.
  
• Talent Pipeline: The company is hiring across R&D, manufacturing, and go-to-market roles, while enhancing internal training programs to develop both technical and leadership skills.
  

With momentum building, EngineAI is poised to become a cornerstone of the emerging robotics era — shaping how machines move, think, and integrate into our daily lives.
