FuturingRobot raises nearly RMB 1 billion as its home robots enter 500 households
FuturingRobot, a home general-purpose robotics startup, has completed a Pre-A round totaling nearly RMB 1 billion within six months of launch. The company says this is its third financing round in half a year, after a RMB 200 million angel round in January 2026 and a several-hundred-million-yuan round in March.
What the company is building
- Focus: consumer home robots, not industrial automation.
- Model: RaaS / rental first, with monthly pricing around RMB 4,500 and a rent-to-own path.
- Products: two generations already launched.
- F1: wheeled base + dual arms.
- F2: dual-arm wheeled robot with 21 degrees of freedom, starting at RMB 36,000.
- Use cases: housework, companionship, pet care, home patrols.
Real-world deployment and data
- The robots have entered 500+ households.
- Cumulative usage has exceeded 50,000 hours.
- Reported user satisfaction: 96.8%.
Technical direction
The company started with an end-to-end Audio-Visual-Language-Action (AVLA) model and later moved to a second-generation robot brain based on its own WAM (World Action Model), which adds physical prediction so the robot can simulate outcomes before acting.
It also says it self-develops core components such as torque motors, integrated joints, torque sensors and adaptive grippers, and is now working on a third-generation robot brain with whole-body control (WBC) and multimodal perception learning.
Why the financing matters
The investor mix has shifted toward industrial and consumer-channel players, including Inovance and Nice Group, suggesting the next bottleneck is no longer just proving the robot can move, but scaling household deployment, reducing manufacturing cost, improving long-term reliability, and building service infrastructure.
