en.Wedoany.com Reported - On May 25, Guangdong Tianji Intelligent System Co., Ltd. announced the completion of a total of 1 billion yuan in Series B and B+ financing, with a post-investment valuation approaching 10 billion yuan, officially joining the unicorn ranks. This financing round was co-led by Hillhouse Ventures and Meituan Strategic Investment, with participation from Tencent, Gaorong Capital, Guanghe Ventures, and GGV Capital, while Gaohu Capital served as the exclusive financial advisor.

Tianji Intelligent's core technology lies in the application of its self-developed MEMS joint torque sensors in robotic joints. Compared to traditional strain gauges, this sensor offers a 10-fold improvement in sensitivity, a 4-fold increase in impact resistance, and a force control accuracy of ≤0.3 N·m. Based on this foundational capability, the company has developed products such as force-controlled humanoid dual arms, integrated joint modules, and controllers. In terms of dual-arm control, its self-developed architecture uses a single motherboard to simultaneously control two 7-axis force-controlled arms, with a latency of only 5 milliseconds and an average error of 1.89 millimeters. The lightweight model, Marvin M6S Lite, has a single-arm weight of 8 kilograms and a payload capacity of 5 kilograms, achieving a payload-to-weight ratio of 62.5%, making it the lightest product in its class. Investors commented that Tianji Intelligent, through underlying technologies such as motion control, MEMS sensors, and joint modules, has filled the critical gap of providing the "cerebellum" and "hands" for embodied intelligence to connect AI large models with the physical world.

Founded in 2015 in Songshan Lake, Dongguan, the company initially focused on industrial automation and robot control systems. As of April 2026, its cumulative shipments of industrial collaborative arms have exceeded 30,000 units, serving over 1,000 industrial clients, and accumulating hundreds of millions of force control data points and engineering experience from over 30,000 units across sectors such as 3C electronics, home appliances, and new energy. The company has established a self-developed R&D and mass production system spanning sensors, joints, and complete machines, with Changying Precision currently holding a 27% stake. In terms of mass production capability, the company delivered over 2,000 force-controlled humanoid dual arms in four months in 2025, serving more than 100 clients, making it the world's first company to achieve mass production and delivery of force-controlled humanoid dual arms with the largest shipment volume. During the same period, many leading body manufacturers' 2025 production capacity plans remained at the thousand-unit level. By the first quarter of 2026, the company's order backlog had exceeded 10,000 units, with clients covering 45 global humanoid robot manufacturers and embodied intelligence unicorn companies. The leap from 2,000 to 10,000 units took only about a year.

Investors believe that embodied intelligence is transitioning from technological breakthroughs to a critical phase of scenario validation and large-scale application. The 1 billion yuan raised in this round will be allocated to three areas: first, technology R&D, continuing to deepen MEMS sensors, integrated joint modules, and motion control algorithms, while beginning to layout humanoid complete machine products and brands; second, capacity enhancement, improving production line automation rates and yield rates to advance delivery capabilities beyond the 10,000-unit level; third, overseas market expansion, with a focus on accelerating the establishment of localized sales and technical support teams in the North American market, aiming to make Tianji's dual arms a universal "limb" for the global embodied intelligence industry chain. From an industrial policy perspective, "embodied intelligence" and "intelligent robots" have been designated as key national development directions in 2025. The "China Development Report 2025" predicts that the domestic embodied intelligence industry scale could reach 400 billion yuan by 2030 and exceed 1 trillion yuan by 2035. Dongguan, where Tianji Intelligent is headquartered, is home to over 7,000 robot-related companies with a complete industry chain. The company stated that this financing round will help it transition from an "infrastructure supplier" for embodied intelligence to a "global standard setter."
