Xinhua Finance, Shanghai, March 31 (Reporter Du Kang) — The reporter learned on the 30th that Jiecai Robotics recently completed a new round of equity financing. This round of financing was led by Lingang Digital Technology Fund, with Hon Hai Group’s affiliate Guangyu Technology and Xingyu Co., Ltd. participating as follow-on investors. The funds raised will be重点 invested in research and development of key technologies for embodied intelligence and in the commercialization and deployment of general-purpose intelligent robot products, helping the company further step up its presence in the track of general-purpose intelligent robots.

Jiecai Robotics has long focused on collaborative robot solutions and is one of the earlier companies to enter China’s collaborative robot market. Its products have been widely used in industrial scenarios such as automobiles and auto parts, 3C electronics, and mechanical machining. According to MIR Rui Industrial, in recent years Jiecai has held a market share of about 20% in China’s collaborative robot market, placing it among the industry leaders.

Li Mingyang, Chairman of Jiecai Robotics, said that all the investors in this round have deep industry accumulation and a strategic investment background. Guided by the “capital + industry” dual-engine approach, they will provide strategic resources for Jiecai to intensify R&D efforts on core technologies for embodied intelligence and for product innovation and strategic resource introduction for general-purpose intelligent robots. This will form in-depth industrial synergy with Jiecai’s technical capabilities and business footprint.

In terms of business layout, in recent years Jiecai is upgrading its strategy from being a leading player in the segmented collaborative robot track to becoming a general-purpose intelligent robot company. At the product level, Jiecai is driven by the “collaboration + embodied” dual engine. It has launched a range of embodied intelligence products such as JAKA Kargo and Khan, and has completed industrial-level commercial validation in core scenarios including intelligent logistics, industrial inspection, and precision automobile assembly. As the “central brain” of general-purpose intelligent robots, the JAKA EVO industrial embodied intelligence platform is an industrial-grade operating system independently developed by Jiecai. It provides standardized toolchains from data acquisition and synthesis through model training to deployment, and supports zero-shot generalization for simple scenarios.

It is reported that Guangyu Technology has mature technology and supply chain capabilities in core electronic components such as printed circuit boards. It will provide coordinated support for Jiecai Robotics in areas including intelligent hardware supporting products, supply of core components, and deployment in high-end manufacturing scenarios. Xingyu Co., Ltd. is a leading domestic enterprise in automotive parts. Previously, the two sides and Jiecai have signed strategic agreements for cooperation in three major areas: deepening innovation in embodied-intelligence robots, upgrading intelligent manufacturing, and coordinating across the industrial chain.

As of now, Jiecai has established nine regional branches globally and has more than 300 channel partners. Its products cover nearly 100 countries and regions.
