This round of financing is led by Stone Venture, and a group of old shareholders such as SenseTime Guoxiang Capital, Honghui Fund, Xunshang Venture Capital, and Baohe Venture Capital continue to increase their investment.
It is worth noting that Stone Venture is a private equity firm located in the United Arab Emirates, focusing on leading technology companies in emerging markets in Asia through direct investment, helping leading technology companies in Asia expand into international markets. This strategic investment by Stone Venture in Zhongqing demonstrates its high recognition of Zhongqing’s technology and firm confidence in its future development.
It is reported that this round of funding will mainly be used to accelerate the research and upgrading of humanoid robot bodies, cerebellum, and embodied intelligence, further promote large-scale production, and expand domestic and international markets, helping Zhongqing become a leading global humanoid robot enterprise.
As a pioneer in the field of embodied robots, in 2024, Zhongqing launched three core masterpieces – SA01 (highly scalable bipedal robot platform), SE01 (full-size universal humanoid robot), and PM01 (lightweight, high dynamic, fully open source universal embodied intelligent agent).
Among them, SA01 is designed specifically for the scientific research and education market, with advanced joint movement capabilities that can achieve complex movements such as running and jumping. The SA01 EDU version has a total weight of approximately 40KG, 6 degrees of freedom on a single leg, a maximum knee joint torque of 160 Nm, and a maximum ankle joint torque of 96 Nm. It can stand on one foot and has a maximum joint speed of 28 rad/s. The robot adopts a reinforcement learning algorithm architecture and an efficient power module scheme, with a walking power consumption of less than 200W. The power performance and straight knee humanoid degree of SA01 are among the top in the industry.
The SE01 robot has a total of 32 degrees of freedom, with a height of up to 170cm and a weight of approximately 55kg. The maximum joint torque is 330N · m, and the normal walking speed can reach 2m/s. The core joints of the robot are all high-performance harmonic force control joint modules independently developed by team members, with strong industrial stability; The mechanical arms are designed with a rope driven flexible force control scheme, with a lifespan of over 10 years; Under the background of independent research and development, the cost of dexterous hands has also been greatly reduced; The fuselage is made of aviation grade aluminum alloy material, with a hard outer shell and exceptionally strong arms. Robots can perform high difficulty movements such as squats, push ups, spinning, grabbing, running, and jumping, with athletic performance comparable to international athletes.
PM01 stands at 1.38m in height and weighs approximately 40kg. It has 24 degrees of freedom throughout its body and can move at a speed of 2m/s. Equipped with a 320 degree rotating motor at the waist, it can easily complete a large number of difficult movements and has two walking modes: mechanical gait and humanoid natural gait. Relying on advanced end-to-end neural network solutions and cutting-edge optical motion capture technology, PM01 can accurately collect massive amounts of human motion data, and through reinforcement learning and imitation learning, its personification level is comparable to the flagship model SE01. Whether on smooth terrain or rugged environments, PM01 can demonstrate excellent adaptability.
