IPO Alert: Another Humanoid Unicorn Eyes Hong Kong 🦄💰

The race to capitalize on humanoid robotics is heating up. Galbot is reportedly preparing for a Hong Kong IPO, potentially filing as early as next year.

While the company officially states there is "no discloseable information" and denies specific timelines like a Q1 filing, the signals are strong. They completed a key shareholding reform on November 27, changing from a limited liability company to a joint-stock company—a standard precursor to going public.

Why It Matters:
Galbot is a heavyweight. Founded just 18 months ago in May 2023, it has already raised over RMB 2.4 billion (~$330M USD) from backers like CATL, Meituan, and HK investment platforms.

Valuation-wise, insiders place it in China's top tier, trailing only Unitree (prepping for the STAR Market) and AgiBot.

This isn't just about one company. With Unitree completing its IPO tutoring and AgiBot also undergoing shareholding reform, we are witnessing a concentrated wave of capitalization in the humanoid sector. The lab phase is ending; the market phase has begun.

🤖 5000 Robots & Counting! AgiBot Just Hit MASS PRODUCTION Milestone! #AgiBot #HumanoidRobot #TechMilesto

A significant moment today at AgiBot’s factory. During a livestream witnessed by media outlets like Xinhua News Agency, Co-founder Peng Zhihui announced their 5,000th general-purpose embodied robot has officially rolled off the line. This event suggests a major shift for the industry, moving from technical validation toward an era of mass commercialization.

The company also released its cumulative production data across its three main series:
➤ Expedition A1/A2: 1,742 units
➤ Lingxi X1/X2: 1,846 units
➤ Spirit G1/G2: 1,412 units

The commemorative 5,000th unit, a Lingxi X2, was personally delivered on stage to famous actor Huang Xiaoming. For this collaboration, AgiBot customized the robot with a "Xiaoming Mode" personality, enabling it to mimic his mannerisms and even make inside jokes. Huang also tested the "Lingchuang" motion-learning platform live, having the robot instantly replicate his movements, showcasing its powerful customization capabilities.

Beyond the celebrity crossover, AgiBot opened its three production bases to the public for the first time via the livestream. Peng emphasized that reaching 5,000 units validates their entire tech stack and supply chain. He stated that this achievement proves the feasibility of mass-producing general-purpose robots, which will help drive down costs and foster a healthy development cycle for the entire industry.

🤖 Speak → Move! #TextOp Creates Smooth Whole-Body Actions Instantly! #TeleAI #AIcontrol #humanoid

Big news from the TeleAI embodied intelligence team! They unveiled TextOp, a general cerebellar framework for real-time, text-driven humanoid control.

TextOp lets humans control the robot via natural language, dynamically modifying instructions during runtime to instantly generate smooth, whole-body actions. This enables precise and highly versatile control.

The framework uses a two-layer architecture: an action diffusion model (High-Level) and a general motion tracking policy (Low-Level). It’s a new paradigm that eliminates the need for pre-recorded scripts or manual programming.

🧠 $138 MILLION! #Robotera's ERA-42 Brain Rivals #Tesla & #NVIDIA Control! #EmbodiedAI #Geely #L7 #HumanoidRobot #TechNews

Chinese robotics powerhouse ROBOTERA announced a near 1 Billion RMB (approx. $138M USD) Series A+ funding round, led by Geely Capital. This massive capital injection confirms its push to be a leader in Embodied AI .

The company reports rapid commercial growth with total orders surpassing 500 Million RMB (approx. $69M USD). ROBOTERA maintains a "domestic solutions + overseas developer" strategy, with its overseas business already accounting for 50% of revenue.

ROBOTERA emphasizes its full-stack, "brain-and-body" R&D approach. Its Embodied Brain, ERA-42, is highly competitive:
➤ Control: The company states ERA-42’s full-body and dexterous hand control capability is comparable to leading models from Figure, Tesla, and NVIDIA.
➤ Architecture: Global pioneer of Frequency-Division VLA and the first to integrate a World Model (VPP), enabling training from massive internet video data.

The company’s hardware features 95%+ self-developed components. Its products, including the Star-Motion L7 humanoid and Q5 service robot, are deployed across manufacturing, logistics (handling drugs/parcels), and commercial services (cleaning/delivery). The L7 holds world records in humanoid jumping.

World's First VLA Robot Logistics Solution Unveiled by #RobotEra's Star-Act L7!
RobotEra just unveiled a full-stack Embodied AI Logistics Solution centered on their humanoid. This is claimed to be the world's first end-to-end VLA (Visual-Language-Action) embodied model deployed in a real-world logistics warehouse application.

The move directly tackles the industry's biggest bottleneck: the "Flexible Picking Gap." Traditional 'Goods-to-Person' systems stall during peak events (like Singles' Day) due to rigid automation and human picking limitations.

At the core is the full-sized bipedal robot Star-Act L7 and its proprietary ERA-42 VLA Model.
➤ Hardware: L7 features a 3-DOF waist (2.1m coverage) and 12-DOF XHAND1 five-finger dexterous hands for complex, multi-SKU manipulation.
➤ Process: L7 performs the precise picking, grabbing, scanning, and boxing tasks after the goods arrive at the workstation.

The system uses layered software for fast adaptation and quick decision-making (High-Frequency Inference) in dynamic warehouse environments. This solution builds a replicable, scalable model across production and circulation logistics, pushing efficiency and operating costs to new limits.

China's Booster Robotics just closed another major funding round (over RMB 100M / approx. $14M USD) led by IDG Capital, confirming deep market confidence in their core value proposition: real, scaled delivery.

The company has shipped over 700 humanoids globally (50%+ overseas) to 200+ clients. Their new Booster K1 sold out its first batch in 20 minutes and came with a strict "real delivery" guarantee—including 3X compensation if certain orders missed the deadline. That’s serious confidence in their supply chain.

Booster's strategy prioritizes reliability and durability over flashy demos, which customers cite as a key factor. They plan to ramp up capacity to tens of thousands of units next year, paving the way for wider market adoption.

The business is built on a "Competition + Education" model. They leverage high-stakes RoboCup wins to validate their tech and use the Booster Agents open platform to enable drag-and-drop programming, aiming to make advanced robotics accessible to everyone, not just PhDs.

Step into the bot’s perspective: See how it tackles chores, shopping, and complex long-horizon tasks. The "brain" making this possible is now open-source.

The Beijing Innovation Center of Humanoid Robotics(X-Humanoid) has fully open-sourced Pelican-VL 1.0, an embodied intelligence VLM model (7B and 72B versions). It is claimed to be the largest and most powerful open-source embodied multimodal large model yet.

Key Stats:
⚡ Performance: Tests show it outperforming GPT-5-class models by 15.79% and Google Gemini series by 19.25%.
🧠 Innovation: Features the world's first DPPO (Deliberate Practice Policy Optimization) training framework, enabling self-correction by mimicking human metacognition.
💰 Efficiency: Achieved peak performance using only 200K data, just 1/10th to 1/50th the data of other major models, making it a VLM cost-performance leader.

Pelican-VL acts as the "visual-language brain" for VLA systems, handling environment perception and complex multi-step task planning. Its open-source release aims to significantly lower the barrier for industrial and home service deployment, accelerating full autonomy in embodied intelligence.

Notably, Pelican-VL's core development team consists entirely of women, highlighting the significant contributions of female talent in China's technological innovation.
