en.Wedoany.com Reported - Yingzhi XBOT has completed two consecutive rounds of financing totaling hundreds of millions of yuan.

Recently, Yingzhi XBOT completed two consecutive rounds of financing worth hundreds of millions of yuan, with Series B financing ranging from 300 to 500 million yuan. Investors include multiple government funds, dollar funds, and industrial investors.

It is reported that the funds from these two rounds of financing will be primarily used for technology research and development, market expansion, and team building.

Previously, Tang Mu, founder and CEO of Yingzhi XBOT, mentioned in an interview with Robot Qianzhan that general-purpose humanoid robots still face many challenges before truly entering households or widespread commercial scenarios. In contrast, the coffee market, with its growing demand, clear trend toward premiumization, rising labor costs, intensifying price competition, and strong need for standardized output, is more suitable for robot intervention to address real needs.

Therefore, Yingzhi XBOT's technical architecture is designed around the vertical catering scenario, with the "XOS 3.0 Embodied Operating System" at its core.

The system is divided into three layers:

The brain layer is responsible for high-level cognition and task planning, equipped with the Zhiwei Catering Large Model, trained on the DeepSeek base, and incorporating real production data from 4 million cups of coffee.

The cerebellum layer is responsible for converting semantic instructions into joint-level control signals, with a response time of less than 10 milliseconds, and has accumulated over 50 atomic skills for catering actions.

The body adaptation layer enables cross-form reuse, supporting "one-time development, reuse across thousands of forms," allowing the control logic of the coffee arm to be transferred to other robot forms such as ice cream and cocktail machines.

Additionally, the company has built a complete data flywheel, utilizing simulation pre-training in the lab, combined with real-world reinforcement learning, continuously iterating based on real operational data from over 4 million cups, and aligning with over 3 million human preference data points through RLHF (Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback) to continuously improve model performance.

Yingzhi XBOT recently launched four products covering different levels of demand:

XBOT C3 Coffee Robot: Occupies 1.83 square meters, uses a six-axis robotic arm, and is equipped with the XOS 3.0 brain and the Aibao store manager service interface. This product produces 80 cups per hour, takes about 45 seconds per cup, supports 150 cups per single supply, and has a repeat positioning accuracy of ±0.02mm.

XBOT i3 Ice Cream Robot: Occupies 1.35 square meters, based on the C3's food preparation capabilities, and generalized through XOS 3.0 cross-body migration. This product supports free combinations of "4 types of jam + 4 types of crunchy toppings," with a production capacity of ≥60 cups per hour and a design life of 250,000 cups.

XBOT X1 General-Purpose Catering Humanoid Robot: Features dual 7-axis arms, with a dual-arm coordination accuracy of ≤±1 mm, and an end-effector payload of 3-4 kg, capable of achieving a full closed-loop process of "pick up cup → prepare → place → deliver → complete."

XBOT CUBE Robot Food Truck: Equipped with a 20 kWh battery, occupies 8 square meters, and can provide services for coffee, ice cream, cocktails, and sausages. The launch date is to be determined.

Founded in November 2022, Yingzhi XBOT previously completed an angel round of financing, with investments from Tencent Senior Vice President Zhang Xiaolong, Xiaomi co-founders Li Wanqiang, Huang Jiangji, Lin Bin, and Hong Feng, as well as Hong Kong University of Science and Technology's Chief Vice President Guo Yike.

Tang Mu, founder and CEO of Yingzhi XBOT, graduated from South China University of Technology. He previously served as General Manager of Tencent's User Research and Experience Design Center (CDC) and Vice President of Xiaomi's Ecosystem Chain, with over 20 years of experience in the internet and smart hardware industries.

Wang Jiali, technical leader of Yingzhi XBOT, holds a Ph.D. in Mechanical and Electronic Engineering from Harbin Institute of Technology. He previously held senior management positions at China Aerospace Science and Industry Corporation, SANY Heavy Industry, Sinopec, and SIASUN Robot & Automation.

Additionally, the company's core technical team consists of former visual research experts from Alibaba's Tongyi Lab and early members of Xiaomi's AI team.

Currently, Yingzhi XBOT's coffee robots have been deployed in over 1,000 units across more than 100 cities globally, producing over 4 million cups of coffee. In 2025, Yingzhi XBOT's revenue exceeded 100 million yuan. It is reported that in 2026, Yingzhi XBOT's order value has approached 300-500 million yuan.

At a time when humanoid robots are still in the stage of technological exploration and cost trade-offs, Yingzhi XBOT has chosen a more pragmatic path. The 4 million cups and over 100 million yuan in annual revenue demonstrate the feasibility of embodied intelligence achieving a commercial closed loop in vertical scenarios. Of course, the leap from a single scenario to full-scenario coverage, and from thousands to tens of thousands of units deployed, remains a challenge that the industry must overcome to move from concept validation to large-scale implementation. The commercialization path of embodied intelligence will ultimately need to advance steadily across various scenarios.
