en.Wedoany.com Reported - On June 3, Kuanggong Technology (hereinafter referred to as "Kuanggong Tech"), an embodied intelligence company specializing in high-risk industrial scenarios, announced the completion of a Pre-A funding round of tens of millions of yuan. The round was jointly led by Caitong Capital and SenseTime Guoxiang Capital. The funds will be primarily used for algorithm research and development of engineering multimodal large models, product matrix enhancement, and market expansion. Founded in February 2025 and headquartered in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, China, the company focuses on providing "robot + AI brain" intelligent operation and maintenance solutions for sectors such as mining.
Kuanggong Tech's founder, Shu Jiangpeng, serves as the director of the Engineering Robot Research Center at the College of Civil Engineering and Architecture, Zhejiang University, deputy director of the Department of Civil Engineering, and a doctoral supervisor. He is a national-level high-level young talent and has conducted visiting research at Stanford University. Since 2011, his core team has been deeply involved in the fields of smart cities and engineering robots, accumulating a database of industry defect samples spanning over 15 years. According to the company, leveraging its unique technical path of integrating multimodal large models with multi-sensor data, Kuanggong Tech's inspection solutions upgrade traditional inspections from simple "image collection" to "submillimeter-level quantitative identification and diagnosis" of defects such as concrete cracking, steel structure corrosion, and geotechnical instability. In terms of commercialization, the company has achieved applications in mining, tunnels, and power scenarios, signing contracts worth tens of millions of yuan with Jiangxi Copper (China's largest copper producer), State Grid, and Power China.
According to research data from QYResearch, the global mining inspection robot market was approximately 25.46 billion yuan in 2025 and is expected to approach 64.50 billion yuan by 2032, with a compound annual growth rate of 13.3%. Kuanggong Tech is not currently involved in humanoid robot development; its core approach uses quadruped robots for inspection tasks to ensure stability and reliability in complex underground environments. Company founder Shu Jiangpeng stated that high-risk operational scenarios demand extremely high stability, making quadruped robots a more practical technical choice in the short term. This financing round was jointly completed by Caitong Capital, affiliated with the Zheshang Securities group, and Guoxiang Capital, an artificial intelligence industry investment institution under SenseTime. This funding will accelerate the deployment of Kuanggong Tech's "air-ground integrated collaborative embodied robots and AI large models" technology, promoting the construction of intelligent inspection and operational systems in industries such as mining, energy, and power, and continuously providing specialized, scalable inspection solutions for the intelligent transformation of the mining sector.
