Robot variabel selesai pendanaan sebesar 1 miliar yuan, ByteDance, Meituan, dan Alibaba semuanya berinvestasi

【Block Rhythm】The embodied AI track has had major moves recently. Variable Robot (X²) just announced the completion of a 1 billion yuan A++ round of financing, with funds coming from a stellar lineup of investors—ByteDance, Sequoia China, Beijing Information Industry Development Fund, Shenzhen Capital, Nanshan Strategic Emerging Investment, Xi Innovation Investment, and other leading institutions joining forces.

Behind this financing news are two interesting details. First, this is the first investment since Shenzhen Capital’s AI fund was established, indicating their high confidence in this company. Second, and more importantly, Variable’s position in the internet giant financing circle—besides ByteDance, they have previously received investments from Meituan and Alibaba respectively. In China’s embodied AI field, there are almost no enterprises that have been chosen simultaneously by these three internet giants. Variable’s ability to achieve this is indeed uncommon. This perhaps suggests that the embodied AI track is transitioning from the periphery to the mainstream, with major tech companies all wanting to secure their positions early.
