Gasgoo Munich- On April 8, 2026, D-Robotics announced the completion of a $150 million Series B2 funding round, bringing its total Series B financing to $270 million.
The latest round drew backing from a mix of strategic and financial investors, including a major retail technology and supply chain player, Prosperity7 Ventures, and Envision Group, alongside prominent funds such as THE Capital, YF Capital, T-Capital, and others. The proceeds are set to accelerate D-Robotics' global expansion, particularly its developer ecosystem, underpinned by a tightly integrated hardware-software architecture and cloud-edge embodied AI platform aimed at unlocking new growth opportunities in the robotics sector.

Horizon Robotics, which is positioning itself as a foundational platform provider for the emerging era of physical AI, maintains a close strategic alignment with D-Robotics. The two companies share a common technological lineage and have coordinated their development roadmaps. Going forward, Horizon Robotics will continue to support D-Robotics, with both sides collaborating on a foundational "embodied intelligence brain" platform to drive advances in core robotics hardware and software.
D-Robotics reported strong operational momentum in 2025, with annual shipments surging 180% year-on-year and its customer base skyrocketing 200% over a year ago. Its top-tier clients now span a broad spectrum, from established consumer robotics categories to next-generation embodied AI machines. To date, the company has introduced more than 100 robot models across various applications.
The company's developer ecosystem has expanded in parallel, surpassing 100,000 global developers—up 100% year-on-year—across more than 20 countries and regions in Asia-Pacific, Europe, and North America. Its "Gravity" accelerator program has supported over 500 small and mid-sized innovation teams, helping more than 200 bring commercially successful products to market. To further reduce development barriers and shorten time-to-market, D-Robotics has partnered with over 60 upstream and downstream players to build integrated hardware-software solutions, enabling faster large-scale deployment of intelligent robots.
As a leading provider of integrated hardware-software platforms, Horizon Robotics has been advancing a full-stack strategy for embodied intelligence. In November 2025, it introduced two open-source foundation models—HoloMotion, focused on motion control, and HoloBrain, designed as a cognitive layer. In February 2026, the company further open-sourced its HoloBrain-0 model and framework, aiming to accelerate the transition of embodied AI from laboratory prototypes to scalable industrial applications and foster broader ecosystem innovation.
Close integration between hardware and software remains central to sustained innovation in robotics. D-Robotics' high-performance RDK S600 development platform is natively compatible with Horizon Robotics' open-source HoloMotion and HoloBrain models, enabling deep optimization across the stack. This combination enhances robots' mobility, spatial awareness, and dexterity, bringing them closer to human-like interaction capabilities. The architecture also supports a "one brain, multiple forms" approach, allowing a single intelligence core to be deployed across diverse robot types and use cases.
Horizon Robotics indicated that future collaboration will center on integrating high-performance computing with large-scale AI models, with a focus on co-optimizing architecture and efficiency at the foundational level. The goal is to generate synergies that deliver better performance and user experience with lower resource input, ultimately unlocking broader applications and innovation potential for embodied AI across industries.
