đ¨đł DexForce Technology
đ¤Â Embodied AI for Robotics
DexForce is building a simulation-first platform for robotic manipulation: with its DexVerse engine, it trains grasping and handling in virtual factories, paired with 3D vision software. As a tech showcase, the DexForce W1 â a wheeled humanoid â demonstrates precise handling skills.
đ¸Â Fresh Funding in July: âSeveral hundred million RMBâ raised in a Series A round.
đ Clients & Use Cases: Automotive, logistics, home appliances â including Midea, Panasonic, and TCL.
đ Chinaâs Embodied-AI Boom Attracts Capital: Alongside âhardware-firstâ players (e.g. Unitree, LimX, Deep Robotics), âsoftware-centricâ teams like DexForce are scaling the robotics âbrainâ stack (perception, planning, grasping).
đ Â asiabits on Tour: Over the weekend we got to see DexForce technology live at work in Mideaâs factory â recently certified by WRCA as the worldâs first âAI Agent Factory.â At several production lines, robots were handling manipulation-intensive tasks powered by AI.
