① Youbote Robotics completes a A+ round of financing valued at one billion yuan, with funds allocated to enhance its production network and advance applications in mining and other scenarios. ② The Ministry of Industry and Information Technology releases a standard system for humanoid robots, with Tianjin issuing an industrial action plan; the global market size for embodied intelligent robots is expected to reach 205.03 billion yuan by 2030.
Shandong Youbaoite Intelligent Robot Co., Ltd. completed a A+ round of financing worth hundreds of millions of yuan. The funds will be used to improve the national production and service network layout, and to continue developing robot applications in high-risk scenarios such as mines, emergency responses, and power sectors. Founded in 2014, the company is headquartered in Jinan, Shandong Province, with its core team coming from the Robot Center of Shandong University and the Institute of Automation of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. Youbaoite robots have built a fully self-developed system covering from core components to intelligent brains, focusing on high-dynamic control and本体 perception technologies based on world models and reinforcement learning. They create domestically produced high-integration controllers, achieving an intelligent closed loop of “environment perception—task decomposition—autonomous execution—dynamic optimization,” and solving the challenges of adapting to unstructured environments. Its “Xingzhe Taishan” four-legged robot won the championship in the tug-of-war event at the World Humanoid Robot Games. The products have been widely used in industries such as energy and power, emergency rescue, smart transportation, and public safety. A research and development center has been established in Shenzhen, and the construction of a central base and production assembly base has been initiated to enhance batch delivery capabilities. At the same time, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology released the “Humanoid…” in February 2026.
