Space Robotics Startup Led by Ex-LandSpace President Raises Nearly RMB 100M

The startup, led by the former president of Chinese launch company LandSpace, has closed a financing round of close to RMB 100 million. It is developing robotic systems intended for space applications, with the goal of moving robots off Earth and into orbital or planetary operations. The new capital is expected to support technology development and early commercialization as investors bet on demand for autonomous machines in the space economy. The deal highlights growing interest in space robotics, where robots could handle inspection, maintenance and other tasks in harsh environments. The financing reflects a broader push to pair embodied AI with aerospace hardware, an area still in early stages. The company has not disclosed full details of the round or its first mission timeline.
