LimX Dynamics annnounced it has raised nearly $200 million in pre-IPO financing to scale its humanoid robotics business and expand internationally.
According to the Chinese robotics company, the round included strategic and financial investors from China, Europe, the Middle East and North America. LimX has raised a total of $400 million over the past six months.
New investors in the round include IDG Capital, Lens Technology, GGG Group, Redstone VC, WestSummit Capital and Hefei Binhu Industry Development Group. Stone Venture increased its investment across multiple financing rounds. Existing shareholders Vitalbridge Capital, CoStone Capital, Nanshan SEI Investment, Shangqi Capital and NIO Capital also made additional investments, according to the company.
“The new funding will be used to advance the integration of high-level cognition and whole-body control, accelerate the deployment of thousands of fully autonomous humanoid robots, and expand the company’s global presence,” LimX noted in the announcement. “LimX Dynamics will strengthen its manufacturing and delivery capabilities, grow its presence across key markets in the Middle East, Europe, and other key Asian countries, and continue building an open platform for developers worldwide to accelerate physical AI innovation and commercialization.”
LimX indicated it is building across the embodied AI stack, including robotics hardware, AI infrastructure and an embodied agentic operating system. Its technology architecture has three layers:
- System 0, a foundation model for whole-body motion control.
- System 1, vision-language-action and world-action-model skills, along with AI infrastructure for training.
- System 2, COSA, an operating system powered by large language models and world models for reasoning, planning and autonomous decision-making.
As part of that stack, LimX developed FluxVLA Engine, an open-source AI infrastructure platform for physical AI. The company said the platform gives developers a standardized foundation for training, testing, deploying and iterating vision-language-action models.
According to the company, it has secured thousands of customer orders across product lines since commercial launch, with more than half coming from global markets. The company said its robots are being used or developed for research and education, commercial services, industrial applications, inspection and construction.
In May, LimX introduced Luna, its full-size interactive humanoid robot. Customer deliveries in China and overseas began less than a month after launch. The company also said LimX TRON 2, which launched late last year, has received orders from developers, research institutions and enterprise customers. That robot includes a modular design, flexible APIs and a developer toolkit.
