Insider Brief
- LE Robotics raised tens of millions of RMB in a Series A+ round to accelerate standardization and large-scale commercialization of its embodied AI robotic welding systems.
- The round was led by Shandong Luhua Investment with participation from Sinolink Innovation Investment, following a Series A completed in 2025 and signaling investor confidence in the company’s transition from validation to industrial scale.
- Founded in 2022, LE Robotics has deployed its AI-driven welding platforms across sectors such as rail, nuclear power, and petrochemical infrastructure, reporting partnerships with more than 50 global industrial firms and expansion into over 30 international markets.
LE Robotics announced it has raised tens of millions of yuan in a Series A+ financing round, extending momentum from its Series A completed in the second quarter of 2025 as the company moves from early validation toward standardized, large-scale commercialization of its robotic welding systems.
The company said it will allocate the funding across three areas:
- Technology development: The Series A+ capital will fund continued iteration of core embodied-AI algorithms and the development of specialized large models to improve perception and autonomous decision-making in complex, high-variability welding tasks.
- Market expansion: LE Robotics plans to scale its standardized product lineup across existing sectors while accelerating entry into adjacent large industrial markets such as shipbuilding and advanced steel structures.
- Global operations: The company will strengthen supply-chain collaboration and build localized service networks in key international markets, including the Americas and Southeast Asia, with additional support from its partnership with Sinolink Securities.
Founded in 2022, the Chinese company develops embodied AI welding technology built around a self-developed, full-stack control architecture that integrates perception, decision-making and execution. The platform is designed to automate complex welding tasks that have traditionally required manual programming and precision tooling, particularly in non-standard, small-batch, and high-mix manufacturing environments. LE Robotics said its systems are already deployed across sectors including rail transportation, nuclear power and petrochemical infrastructure, with expansion underway into adjacent industrial applications.
Since its prior funding round, the company has focused on proving its technology in production settings and building repeatable deployment models. Independent technical assessments have positioned its core systems as competitive with international peers, while customer uptake has accelerated through partnerships with large industrial groups. LE Robotics reports a high rate of repeat purchases, suggesting its systems are delivering operational value in live environments. The company has also expanded internationally, with deployments spanning more than 30 countries, including markets in Europe and North America.
Beyond hardware, LE Robotics said it is building a broader service layer that supports customers from pilot projects through mass production. That includes system integration, process optimization, maintenance, and data-driven performance improvements, reflecting a shift from equipment sales toward longer-term industrial partnerships.
