Robot Era Technology Co., or ROBOTERA, last week said it has raised more than $200 million in funding. The Beijing-based company is developing general-purpose robots and artificial intelligence.
ROBOTERA said it builds its own robotics hardware, with over 95% of core components developed internally. They include actuation systems and humanoid platforms, which the company said form a robust foundation for mobile manipulation tasks.
A key focus of ROBOTERA is its full direct-drive dexterous hand architecture. The company claimed that it is first of its kind, enabling high-precision, adaptable, and durable manipulation in logistics and industrial environments. ROBOTERA said its reliability has been validated through long-term deployments.
ROBOTERA asserted that it has achieved a product-market fit in the embodied intelligence sector, with deployments across more than 10 logistics centers in collaboration with China Post and SF Group. In the second quarter of 2026, the company reportedly initiated thousand-unit deliveries, with growth exceeding 300%.
Leading global technology companies and research institutions have adopted ROBOTERA’s systems, including Boston Dynamics, NVIDIA, and Apple. Its system works closely with software in real-world environments, with deployment feedback enabling continuous performance optimization.
Product portfolio includes humanoids, hands
ROBOTERA’s product portfolio includes a range of humanoid robots, including legged and wheeled versions, and robotics hands. These include:
- The ROBOTERA L7, a full-sized bipedal humanoid robot for commercial services, logistics, manufacturing, and research applications
- The ROBOTERA Q5, a wheeled humanoid robot, was built by the company for education, healthcare, commerce, entertainment, and more
- The ROBOTERA M7, a full-size upper-body humanoid robot, which can be upgraded to the L7 if needed
- The XHAND 1, a fully direct-drive robotic hand with 12 active degrees of freedom (DoF)
- The XHAND 1 Lite, a slimmer human-like robotic hand for greater dexterity
ROBOTERA also offers ERA-42, an “end-to-end” vision-language-action (VLA) embodied model. The model has been at work in logistics, manufacturing, business services, and more, according to the company.
