GALBOT stated that following this round, the company will continue to focus on building a world-leading embodied AI large model. This core technology will drive the implementation of flagship projects and accelerate the transition of embodied intelligence into scalable productivity.
This comes shortly after the company closed a round exceeding $300 million in late 2025. That means GALBOT has pulled in nearly 5 billion yuan in just three months—a pace and scale that stands out in the current capital market climate. It underscores the strong confidence investors have in the company's technical prowess, commercial outlook, and team capabilities within the embodied intelligence space.
According to the latest public information, GALBOT's valuation surpassed 20 billion yuan following its previous fundraising round.
GALBOT focuses on the R&D and mass production of embodied large models and humanoid robots. It has achieved full-stack self-development, spanning from a "100-billion high-quality dataset" to the "embodied large model" and finally the "robot body." Specifically, the company uses a training pipeline that combines synthetic simulation data with real-world collected data to build a 10-billion-level dataset. Anchored by end-to-end embodied models like GraspVLA, GroceryVLA, and NavFoM, its robots boast industrial-grade generalization. They can autonomously handle grasping, transport, loading and unloading, and navigation across different scenarios without the need for frequent debugging.

The humanoid robot seen "rolling walnuts" on the recent CCTV Spring Festival Gala stage came from GALBOT. Beyond that party trick, the robot demonstrated picking up glass shards, folding clothes, skewering sausages, and retrieving items from shelves. Powering these feats is the company's core technology: "AstraBrain," a whole-body, end-to-end large model.
In another Gala performance, "Dreams of Mountains and Seas," GALBOT's latest heavy-duty industrial robot, the Galbot S1, shared the stage with aerospace satellites and the C919 aircraft.
GALBOT's robots have moved well beyond the lab. They are now serving as practical "productivity assets" across a wide range of industries.
In industrial manufacturing, the company has secured deep partnerships with domestic and global leaders, including CATL, Bosch, Toyota, Hyundai, BAIC Group, SAIC Motor, Zeekr, and Great Wall Motor, with cumulative orders reaching thousands of units. Notably, GALBOT is the only embodied AI large model company to receive investment from CATL. Their collaboration has expanded from capital to production deployment—robots powered by GALBOT's technology are already working on battery production lines, proving their reliability and economic viability.
