The Shenzhen-based embodied AI startup LimX Dynamics has raised around $200 million in a Series B round, marking one of the largest single financing rounds in the global humanoid robotics sector.
🤝 Global capital meets China’s robotics stack: The round was led by UAE-based Stone Venture, with participation from Chinese financial investors and strategic industry partners including JD.com, SAIC-affiliated funds, and NIO Capital.
The details
Platform over single robots: LimX combines hardware, software, and training into an integrated stack:
Tron 2: A modular, multi-form robot (bipedal, wheeled-biped, dual-arm)
Oli: A full-size humanoid designed as a standard deployment platform
COSA: An agentic operating system that links planning, prioritisation, and whole-body motion
Core innovation: Not a better model, but a system that continuously synchronises cognition and movement. COSA acts as an orchestrator between reasoning, skill libraries, and motion control — without scripts.
Scaling up: After raising RMB 500 million ($72 million) in Series A in early 2025, LimX is now entering its scaling phase. In 2026, the company plans to ramp up investment in product development and international expansion.
Coming to a lobby — and eventually homes: The LimX Oli humanoid starts at RMB 158,000 ($22,730) and is already available for pre-orders. Initial targets include service scenarios such as reception and household applications.
Sector Context
Robotics momentum: China’s embodied AI sector is moving beyond the lab. At the same time, Tesla has announced its first mass-produced humanoid robot.
State-backed funds, OEMs, and big tech players are no longer betting on individual robots, but on standardised platforms that can be industrialised at scale.
China’s focus is firmly on production reality: modular bodies, agentic OS layers, and vertically integrated stacks.
