Sichuan Embodied Humanoid Robot Technology (EIR) has raised over 100 million RMB in a Pre-A round, coordinated with a provincial-municipal-county state-funded humanoid robot pilot-production program. Funds will go toward iterating its flagship humanoid "Aiqiu," building a ten-thousand-unit production base, and sales infrastructure; a new round is already underway.

Product & tech:

Proposes "EmotionNative," making emotional companionship a native product goal, with body form, language understanding, facial expression, and motion control co-designed
Aiqiu uses a domestically pioneered 3D ultra-short-throw projection face, switchable between avatars and expressions for tourism/brand IP use
Aiqiu priced from 98,000 RMB, setting a competitive benchmark for small-to-mid bipedal humanoids
Self-developed EIRHARNESS architecture orchestrates perception, interaction, memory, navigation, and locomotion
Focuses on Loco-Manipulation and a full-body VLA data collection-training-deployment pipeline

Production & deployment: Three product lines — Aiqiu companion robot, Tianxun quadruped, and Tianxing humanoid — are in batch delivery across bank branches, public services, emergency inspection, and training grounds. A production base in Deyang is expected to come online by end of 2026, scaling from thousands to tens of thousands of units.
