Founded in September 2020, Percisphere specializes in heavy-payload all-terrain robots. With over 120 patent applications, the company has been recognized as a National High-tech Enterprise and a "Specialized and Sophisticated" firm. It was also named to Forbes China's inaugural list of the 100 Most Promising Startups for 2025. The founding team is led by a control systems expert from the European Space Agency, drawing on aerospace engineering methodologies and talent from top-tier universities.
Rejecting the single-use equipment model, Percisphere has pioneered a "transformable chassis and modular payload" architecture—the first of its kind globally. Its flagship offerings, the "Hechu T3000" for open fields and the "Jilu G3000" for orchards, can be reconfigured by swapping modules on a single core system to suit various terrains. Over the past five years, the company has logged more than 1 million kilometers of field testing in the wilds of Xinjiang. Through five generations and nearly 40 iterations, it has leveraged agricultural use cases to refine its tech, achieving scalable deployment of heavy-payload robots in farming.
A key priority for this funding round is accelerating overseas expansion. Large-scale modern agriculture in markets like Europe, Australia, and Canada is grappling with labor shortages and soaring costs—pain points that Percisphere’s autonomous swarm robotics address directly. The capital will support the build-out of overseas channels, the formation of localized service teams, and global supply chain coordination.
While deepening its roots in agriculture, Percisphere is branching into urban emergency services. Leveraging core technology and data from precision farming, the company is entering the market with snow removal robots. This move tackles the high demand, low efficiency, and safety risks of manual snow clearance in northern regions, while proving the robots' reliability in temperatures as low as -30 degrees Celsius and on complex road surfaces. The company emphasizes that agriculture remains its core business, with plans to steadily expand into forestry and emergency response.
