Co-investors in this round include Junshan Capital, Bihong Investment, Guoqi Investment, Lingang Sci-Tech Venture Capital, SAIF Partners, and C&D Emerging Industry Investment. Existing investors such as Linear Capital and Xianghe Capital also increased their stakes in this round. The round comes just four months after TARS raised $120 million in March, the largest angel round in China’s embodied AI sector, and increased its total funding to $242 million. TARS, founded this February in 2025, is an embodied AI startup established by a team of former Huawei, Baidu, and DJI executives and scientists, dedicated to developing physical-world AI and general-purpose robotics technology.
