Chinese embodied intelligence and robotics company GENISOM AI has completed a Series B funding round worth several hundred million yuan, strengthening its bid to expand industrial robotics beyond its home market. The round was led by UAE-based Stone Venture and announced on 20 September 2026. It marks a new phase in the company's plan to develop autonomous robots for complex operational environments.
Funding Details and Investor Backing
GENISOM AI did not disclose the exact valuation or precise investment amount, but confirmed that the financing attracted a mix of financial institutions and industrial investors. Participants included investment funds such as Hongshan Capital, Yueke Financial, Wuzhong Rongyue and Wuzhong Financial Holdings, as well as industrial backers including Neusoft, Highpower Technology and Riying Electronics. The capital injection is intended to support the development of core robot components, advanced decision-making systems, motion control and task execution capabilities.
Prior Funding and Company Trajectory
Investor interest in GENISOM AI has accelerated since its founding in 2023. In January the company announced several consecutive funding rounds totaling hundreds of millions of yuan, with backers that included Zhiyuan Robotics, Gui'an Kunpeng Fund, Jinma Entertainment, Keli Shares and Highpower Technology. This earlier support helped the company scale its product development and production capabilities ahead of the latest Series B round.
Full Stack Robotics and Production Scale
Founded in 2023, GENISOM AI positions itself as a full stack embodied intelligence company spanning robot bodies, modular products and embodied AI systems. Its portfolio includes quadruped robots and humanoid robots, supported by internally developed joint modules. By June 2026 the company reported cumulative production of more than 15,000 embodied intelligence robots and annual joint module capacity exceeding one million units.
Technology Architecture and Autonomous Navigation
The company's technical architecture combines a brain layer for perception, navigation and intelligent decision-making with a cerebellum layer for motion control and dynamics. It is also advancing its GSD data-driven model to improve autonomous navigation in unstructured and complex environments. These systems are designed to help robots operate across industrial inspection, power, petrochemical, security, emergency response and education settings.
Market Channels and Ecosystem Partners
GENISOM AI has been building domestic market channels through partnerships with Neusoft and other industry players, while cooperating with technology partners to broaden sector coverage. The company says it has established relationships with more than 500 ecosystem partners. These alliances span distribution, technology collaboration and industrial application development across multiple sectors.
International Expansion and Gravity Program
The company is targeting overseas opportunities in oil and gas, energy, security and emergency response, areas where it can apply experience gained in China. The announcement did not include specific customer contracts or order volumes in the Middle East. Following the round, GENISOM AI plans to launch its Gravity program, providing 1,000 robots and more than 100 million yuan in combined resources to developers, universities and industrial partners to expand application development.
The Series B round reflects a broader push by Chinese robotics companies to attract foreign capital while pursuing international industrial markets. GENISOM AI will use the funding to improve robot reliability, cost competitiveness and task execution, with research priorities spanning movement, spatial, interactive and swarm intelligence. Its long-term goal is to move robots from autonomous entry into industrial sites to completing real tasks independently.
