en.Wedoany.com Reported - Chinese embodied AI company Galactic Dynamics recently completed a new financing round of over $200 million. This round was led by SF Express, with joint investments from financial institutions including Sequoia China, IDG Capital, CICC Capital, Jingming Capital, Chaoxi Capital, Luxin Venture Capital, Juhe Capital, and Longqi Investment. Industrial participants included KST Smart, Dongfeng Auto Investment, ICBC Capital, and China Unicom's affiliated funds. Existing investors Qingkong Tiancheng and Hongruida continued to increase their stakes. Market investment interest far exceeded the original fundraising target.
This financing comes less than two months after Galactic Dynamics completed a 1 billion RMB strategic round in March this year. To date, Galactic Dynamics has gathered top financial institutions including Hillhouse, DGC VGC, Sequoia China, IDG Capital, and CICC Capital, and has secured backing from domestic and international industrial capital such as SF Express, Alibaba, Geely Capital, BAIC Motor Investment, Dongfeng Auto Investment, Samsung Group, Lenovo Capital, Haier Capital, Singtel, China Unicom's affiliated funds, Woori Financial Group, ICBC Capital, and KST Smart, making it the embodied AI company with the largest number of industrial investors and most extensive cross-industry lineup.
Founded in August 2023 by Chen Jianyu, an assistant professor at Tsinghua University's Institute for Interdisciplinary Information Sciences, Galactic Dynamics is the only embodied AI company with shareholding from Tsinghua University. Adhering to a fully integrated hardware-software, full-stack self-developed technical route, the company has achieved a self-development rate of over 95%. It has built a complete hardware system encompassing core motors, drivers, reducers, and complete machines, along with the end-to-end Vision-Language-Action embodied large model ERA-42. In April 2026, at the global embodied dexterous manipulation event Benjie's Olympics, Galactic Dynamics won first place globally in three tasks: peeling oranges, unlocking, and turning socks inside out, comprehensively surpassing the world records held by Physical Intelligence.
Galactic Dynamics has achieved the first product-market fit in the embodied AI industry—partnering with China Post and SF Express to deploy robots on a batch scale in over 10 logistics centers across North China, East China, and South China. These robots operate 24/7 in harsh environments such as high temperatures and humidity, achieving normalized operations. In some logistics centers, robot efficiency has exceeded 85% of human capacity. In the second quarter of 2026, the company commenced batch delivery of thousands of robots, with a delivery growth rate of 300%.
Beyond logistics, Galactic Dynamics is deeply collaborating with companies such as Geely, Renault, Haier, Lenovo, and Samsung in areas like automotive manufacturing, 3C electronics, and commercial services, with overseas business accounting for 50% of its operations. The company has built a data feedback loop system encompassing real-world operation data, real robot data, world model-generated physical interaction data, egocentric human behavior data, and internet video data. Guided by a "quality over scale" philosophy, it continuously drives model iteration.
Galactic Dynamics' hardware system also empowers leading global tech institutions and has become a common choice for organizations including OpenAI, Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, Apple, Google, Amazon, ByteDance, MIT, UC Berkeley, Stanford University, and Tsinghua University.
