Spirit AI, a leading company in embodied intelligence, recently announced the completion of a pre-A+ round financing of nearly 600 million yuan. This round was led by JD.com, with participation from well-known investment institutions such as China Internet Investment Fund (CIIF), Zhejiang Science and Technology Innovation Fund, Huatai Zijin, Fosun Rui Zheng, and others. At the same time, existing shareholders such as Prosperity7Ventures (P7) and Shunwei Capital also significantly increased their investments, demonstrating high recognition of Spirit AI's development potential. The financing was exclusively advised by Gao Hu Capital.
Spirit AI has rapidly risen in the field of embodied intelligence, becoming a focal point for capital, thanks to its outstanding technical capabilities, clear strategic layout, and strong commercialization ability. The company conducts in-depth research in hundreds of core scenarios such as manufacturing and services, transforming real industrial pain points into core parameters for product definitions, forming a closed-loop development logic of "scenario needs - technology breakthroughs - product implementation - market feedback." This strategy of "coming from scenarios and returning to scenarios" reduces the risk of technology transitioning from laboratories to industry at the root, ensuring that innovation is always anchored in commercially viable application scenarios.
The founding team of Spirit AI consists of full-stack talents who possess cutting-edge AI technology capabilities, experience in robot hardware engineering, and a commercialization perspective, accurately connecting the entire chain of "technology research and development - product mass production - market validation," effectively solving the common industry problem of "disconnection between R&D and implementation," providing core momentum for large-scale implementation.
In June 2025, Spirit AI officially released the full-body force-controlled humanoid robot Moz1, equipped with its self-developed VLA model. As the first high-performance full-body force-controlled humanoid robot in China, Moz1 has achieved multiple breakthroughs in the hardware field, with 26 degrees of freedom throughout the body, equipped with the world's highest power density integrated force control joints, and featuring domestic top-tier high-precision and high-speed WBC algorithms, with a load-to-weight ratio of 1:1. In addition, the robot can achieve zero-latency remote operation throughout the body, and combined with its self-developed multi-dimensional data acquisition equipment, it can efficiently complete data collection, supporting model iteration within hours.
In terms of embodied models, Spirit AI's self-developed VLA model, Spirit v1, continues to be iterated and upgraded, capable of accurately completing office tasks such as desk organization, garbage disposal, and seat positioning, continuously enhancing the model's ability to be implemented in various scenarios. This deep collaboration model of "hardware performance breakthroughs + AI model evolution" has built a core technological barrier for Spirit AI in the field of embodied intelligence.
The successful completion of this financing brings dual empowerment of capital and industrial resources to Spirit AI. In the future, Spirit AI will continue to increase its investment in VLA model iteration and robot hardware performance upgrades, constantly improving the intelligence level and practical performance of its products; at the same time, it will fully promote the construction of the industrial delivery system for embodied robots and accelerate expansion into more diverse scenarios, consolidating its leading position in the field of embodied intelligence through dual breakthroughs in technology and industrial implementation.
