Beijing-based embodied-AI startup Anyverse Dynamics has secured over $200 million in angel funding, signaling a significant surge in China's robotics sector. The funding round was co-led by Envision Group and the Beijing AI Industry Investment Fund, with participation from existing investors like HongShan Capital.
Alongside the capital injection, Anyverse announced a global market order from Envision worth over $73.2 million to deploy its AI robots across Europe and Asia. This marks a substantial overseas order for China's embodied AI sector and supports Anyverse's global expansion plans.
The company stated that the newly raised funds will be primarily allocated to accelerating research and development of its general embodied brain and efficient data pipelines. Anyverse differentiates its technology by using a latent space world model and a pre-trained, general-purpose embodied brain called MWA, which aims to enable robots to better understand physical laws.
As part of a strategic partnership, Envision will also provide Anyverse with customized power system solutions to build integrated offerings.
