Chinese embedded intelligence startup LimX Dynamics has secured $200 million in a Series B funding round from investors including Dubai-based Stone Venture to fuel its business expansion in China and abroad.
LimX Dynamics, which specializes in life-size general-purpose humanoid robots, secured the new funding from investment firms, industry leaders and existing shareholders, the startup announced Monday.
Besides Stone Venture, a long list of Chinese investment companies participated in the Series B round, such as Oriental Fortune Capital, CoStone Capital, Tianjin Venture Capital and GF Xinde Investment.
Strategic business investors in the deal included Chinese e-commerce giant JD.com, sealing parts producer Anhui Zhongding Sealing Parts, automotive bearing maker Changzhou NRB Corp and industrial Ethernet technology company Kyland Technology.
Existing shareholders such as Shang Qi Capital, an investment arm of Chinese state-owned automaker SAIC Motor Corp; NIO Capital and Future Capital also doubled their stake thanks to the deal.
The Shenzhen-based startup develops embodied intelligence, which is the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) into physical robotic bodies capable of perceiving, learning and acting in the real world. This sector is rapidly moving from laboratory experiments to industrial and commercial deployment in China.
Founded in 2022, LimX Dynamics focuses on three core technologies, namely hardware design and manufacturing, reinforcement learning (RL)-based motion control, and embodied AI training paradigms. Its products and technologies are designed to serve innovators, developers and system integrators to accelerate the research, development and real-world deployment of embodied AI in areas such as research, manufacturing, business and home services.
In 2026, the startup plans to further intensify its investments in product R&D and market expansion.
Over the past two months, the startup has launched two new products, including the shape-shifting incarnate robotTron 2″, which can be configured to allow transitions between a two-armed biped, a wheeled leg form, and a single-legged configuration for specific research and industrial requirements.
LimX Dynamics also introduced “LimX COSA,” an agentic operating system (OS) that unifies high-level cognition with full-body movement control, enabling humanoid robots to think while acting in real-world environments.
Its largest funding round to date, the Series B deal follows the completion of its Series A and A+ rounds in early 2025, through which the startup raised a total of 500 million yuan ($72 million) from investors including Alibaba Group and China Merchants Venture.
It raised nearly 200 million yuan ($28.8 million) in angel and pre-Series A funding rounds in October 2023. FreesFund, Future Capital and Vitalbridge Capital were among its early backers.
