Greenland's entry gives UniX AI a named customer in security, hotels and elderly care, but delivery figures and the order backlog come from the company, and no valuation was disclosed.
UniX AI (优理奇机器人), a Suzhou-based maker of wheeled and bipedal humanoid robots, has completed a RMB500 million Pre-A financing round, 36Kr reported on November 9. Chinese outlets including Sina Tech and ChinaVenture carried the same announcement the same afternoon. Existing shareholders 谢诺投资 (Xienuo Investment) and 涌铧投资 (Yonghua Investment) made repeated oversubscribed follow-on investments, while the new investors are 绿地集团 (Greenland Group), 柯力传感 (Keli Sensing), 华工创投, 新景富盈, 红鸟启航基金 and 玉林产投.
Greenland joined as a strategic investor and what Sina Tech calls an important downstream application partner. The two sides plan to work on security, hotel and elderly-care settings. No outlet covering the round disclosed a valuation or the amount each investor put in.
The round arrives eight months after UniX AI’s last announced raise and extends a fast sequence of financings for a company founded in April 2024. The delivery figures reported alongside the round come from the company.
The money follows eight months of back-to-back rounds
UniX AI announced a RMB300 million equity round on March 2, according to Caijing Rui, with 吴中金控 and Yonghua Investment among existing shareholders adding capital. In December 2025, QbitAI reported two rounds worth RMB300 million in total, which it described as the company’s fifth round within six months and labeled with four and five plus signs after the word angel. Before that, PE Daily reported on May 28, 2025 that the company had raised several hundred million yuan across an angel and an angel-plus round.
The Pre-A label therefore follows a long run of angel-stage rounds. The sources do not explain the naming, and none of them gives a combined total raised. Science and Technology Daily, in a September profile of founder and CEO 杨丰瑜 (Yang Fengyu) after he made the Fortune China 40 Under 40 list, said the company had raised nearly RMB1 billion within two years at a valuation of about RMB3.5 billion. That is a single press report and the company has not confirmed a valuation for this round.
Yang is 25, according to that profile, and is a computer science PhD student at Yale. PE Daily named Wang Heshen (王贺升), a Shanghai Jiao Tong University professor, as chief scientist.
Deliveries above 100 units a month are the evidence, and they are the company’s own
Robot Pro (机器人前瞻), in a report republished on Sohu, lists two robot platforms, Wanda and Panther. The Science and Technology Daily profile describes Wanda as a wheeled dual-arm robot with a base price of about RMB88,000. It says the Panther series took one gold, one silver and one bronze medal at the second World Humanoid Robot Games. Robot Pro also lists UniTouch, a model that fuses vision and touch, and UniTac, a tactile model it says was accepted to the ECCV 2026 conference.
On commercial traction, ChinaVenture and Robot Pro both relay company figures. UniX AI says monthly deliveries have held above 100 units since late 2025 and peaked above 300 units. It also reports batch orders from several leading customers, which ChinaVenture puts at the scale of hundreds of units and Robot Pro at 100 or more units. ChinaVenture adds that the company calls its collections and profit model healthy but gives no numbers. Robot Pro names building-security deliveries to property developers, Certis and Inspur, hotel deployments at Hilton, Atour and Home Inn, and a coffee outlet at JD’s 7Fresh where the robots made 2,156 drinks in 24 hours, a Guinness World Record.
UniX AI said in April that its Panther robot had completed validation in real homes, a claim EastFrontier reported at the time.
Greenland ties the round to security, hotel and elderly-care customers
ChinaVenture’s report describes Greenland’s move from product user to industry co-builder. None of the pages opened says how the RMB500 million will be spent. Embodied AI, or 具身智能, is the term Chinese media use for AI that operates through a robot body, and Robot Pro applies it to UniX AI.
Several things remain unconfirmed. No source names the lead investor or the size of Greenland’s stake, and the company has not published audited revenue or its order book. The delivery counts cannot be checked against customs or customer data from the sources opened.
The signals to watch are a Greenland deployment announcement in security, hotels or elderly care, and any disclosure of revenue, unit prices or customer repeat orders from UniX AI. A valuation for the Pre-A round, if it emerges, would show whether investors accepted the roughly RMB3.5 billion figure reported in September.
