Kinetix AI Raises $75 Million Angel Round To Scale AI Data Model Hardware Development Loop
For years, engineers have struggled to figure out why an artificial intelligence that can write a novel in seconds still struggles to pick up a fragile glass without crushing it. The post Kinetix AI Raises $75 Million Angel Round To Scale AI Data Model Hardware Development Loop appeared first on Ventureburn .
Kinetix AI has secured a massive $75 million in an angel round led by Vertex Ventures, F&G Venture, and Wanshi Capital. This funding is a crucial step towards developing embodied AI, which aims to merge digital intelligence with physical execution. The company's CEO, Yu Jie, previously worked on Huawei's autonomous mining trucks, while Luo Ping, an associate dean from HKU, and Zheng Cunyuan, former robotics head at XPeng, bring invaluable expertise to the team.
Kinetix believes that robots should closely resemble humans to seamlessly integrate into our world. Their flagship robot, KAIBot, stands 1.73 meters tall and boasts 115 degrees of freedom. The company's strategy involves creating a closed-loop ecosystem where data collection, AI model development, and hardware execution work together in a continuous feedback loop.
This approach has already demonstrated success, with KAIBot playing table tennis against a world champion at the 2026 World Humanoid Robot Games.
