O robô Variável completou uma captação de 1 bilhão de yuans, com investimentos da ByteDance, Meituan e Alibaba.

【Blockchain Metaverse】A major development has emerged in the embodied AI track. X² (Variable Robot) just announced the completion of a 1 billion yuan A++ round of financing, backed by a stellar lineup of investors including ByteDance, Sequoia China, Beijing Information Industry Development Fund, Shenzhen Capital, Nanshan Strategic Emerging Industries Investment, Xi Creation Investment, and other leading institutions.

Behind this financing announcement are two interesting details. First, this is the Shenzhen Capital AI Fund’s first investment since its establishment, indicating their high confidence in this company. Second, and more critically, Variable’s standing in internet tech giants’ financing circle is notable—besides ByteDance, they have previously received investments from Meituan and Alibaba respectively. In China’s embodied AI sector, few companies are simultaneously backed by these three internet giants. Variable achieving this is indeed uncommon. This may suggest that embodied AI is transitioning from the periphery to the mainstream, with large tech companies all wanting to secure their positions early.
