Lexiang Technology Secures 500 Million Yuan in Pre-A Round Funding, Seizes Home Embodied AI Entry Point with 30,000 Unit Orders in Hand

Recently, Suzhou Lexiang Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Lexiang Technology"), a home embodied AI company, officially announced the completion of a nearly 500 million yuan (RMB) Pre-A round of financing. To date, Lexiang Technology, which was founded just a year and a half ago, has raised a total of 1 billion yuan in funding.

It is reported that this round was led by Ant Group, with follow-on investments from industrial partners Geely Capital, 37 Interactive Entertainment, and Yuanhe Puhua. Existing investor Monolith continued to participate with an oversubscribed amount. The funds will be primarily used for the independent R&D of six core technologies, talent acquisition, and the expansion of global market channels.

Guo Renjie, CEO of Lexiang Technology, stated: "In this round, we have strategically focused on introducing strategic and more industrial investors, hoping to collaborate with everyone to explore broader application scenarios for home embodied AI. We aim to drive a rapidly deployable product system with our full-stack, self-developed technology, continuously test and iterate within real scenarios to identify greater demand, and enable both our organization and products to continuously upgrade and grow until embodied AI becomes a reality in millions of households."

Alongside the completion of this funding round, Lexiang Technology also officially launched its home embodied AI brand, "Zeroth." Differing from the industry's traditional focus on robots replacing labor or completing tasks, Zeroth proposes a new brand philosophy—robots are not just tools, but "intelligent mirrors" of humanity. From brand philosophy to product portfolio, Zeroth aims to advance human-robot relationships from "tool and user" towards "partner and symbiosis."

More notably, while announcing this funding news, Lexiang Technology also disclosed a set of commercialization metrics: the company currently has over 30,000 units in confirmed orders, with revenue for the first half of 2026 showing a 600% year-over-year growth.

This signifies that, at a time when the global embodied AI industry is still largely in the technology validation and scenario exploration phase, Lexiang Technology has already pioneered a commercial closed-loop from technology R&D and product definition to market sales and mass production delivery, becoming one of the world's earliest home embodied AI companies to achieve validation at scale.

The industry widely believes that future home scenarios will become the largest market entry point for embodied AI, and companies that can first establish a user base and product scale will possess greater advantages in data accumulation, product iteration efficiency, and ecosystem development. With the landing of 30,000 unit orders, Lexiang Technology has undoubtedly taken a lead in capturing the most critical market entry point for home embodied AI.

This achievement is also the realization of its progressive embodied AI strategy. Compared to the industry's common approach of "seeking applications after technology matures," Lexiang Technology has chosen a more pragmatic development path—driving product development with genuine market demand. It developed multiple product prototypes, then conducted real-world testing through online and offline channels to identify the product forms and feature combinations that users are willing to pay for, and finally converged the final product direction towards Product-Market Fit (PMF) based on the test results.

It is reported that Lexiang Technology has now formed a product matrix covering multiple directions including small home humanoid robots, full-size humanoid robots, home collaborative robots, and tracked robots. Through this multi-category layout, it continuously iterates its technology and increases the probability of product success.

Among them, the small home humanoid robot M1 and the tracked robot W1 are widely used in areas such as preschool education, smart homes, and pet companionship, becoming the core products for Lexiang Technology's current commercialization. The M1 recently also became the world's first humanoid robot to integrate with OpenClaw, further expanding the capability boundaries of home embodied AI.
