It raised ~RMB 5B (~$735M) in a single round in June 2026 at a ~$2.8-2.9B valuation, one of the two largest single Chinese embodied rounds of mid-2026.

In December 2025 it signed an agreement with STMicroelectronics to introduce custom RoBee cognitive humanoids into production and logistics at several ST plants globally, the first time a semiconductor company will operationally integrate cognitive humanoids into its factories; the first unit went live at the ST advanced packaging and test fab in Malta. Six months later, on 2026-06-23, ST took an equity stake alongside Fondazione ENEA Tech Biomedical and SpotInvest, described as ST first direct investment in a humanoid robotics platform developer. ST produces the motor control chips, IMUs and time-of-flight sensors the humanoid industry is short of, and is now supplier, customer and shareholder to the same company. RoBee is described as the first cognitive humanoid certified to operate in factories, up to two metres tall, roughly 120 kg, with 39 degrees of freedom, and at CES 2026 was shown running on Intel Core Ultra Series 3 edge processors with speech, reasoning and vision executed locally. Deployment scores 3 and production 2 because coverage describes limited manufacturing pilots with the new capital funding the transition to volume.","assessed_in":{"domain":"Humanoids","list":"Humanoids 100","rank":31,"score":72,"tier":"member","scores":{"gate_ne":["firepower"],"leverage":10,"position":8,"progress":10,"firepower":6,"commercial":4,"deployment":6,"production":4,"technology":8},"why":"Oversonic builds and sells RoBee humanoid robots for industrial production and logistics, deployed at an STMicroelectronics fab.","segment":"Industrial & logistics","layer":"Systems"},"signals_total":2,"facts_total":21}],"note":"Assessment by Frontier Tech Intelligence; facts and signals carry their sources."}
