The Zhitong Finance App learned that according to reports, robot unicorn company Yushu Technology plans to introduce new investors, including Ant Group and China Mobile, and is still discussing specific investment shares. The report pointed out that this financing was not a complete new round of financing; it was aimed at opening up a small share to specific investors. Ant Group and Yushu Technology have been negotiating and communicating on investment matters for a long time, and the current financing valuation is less than RMB 10 billion. In response, Wang Xingxing, founder of Yushu Technology, responded to media claims that “the news is untrue.”

According to data, Yushu Technology was founded in 2016 and was the first to make a four-legged robot dog. In 2023, Yushu Technology released humanoid robot products. In May 2024, Yushu launched the G1 humanoid robot with a height of about 127 cm. The basic version costs 99,000 yuan. Yushu's last round of financing was in September 2024, led by the Beijing Robotics Industry Investment Fund, followed by 14 well-known investment institutions including Shenzhen Venture Capital, Meituan Dragon Ball, Sequoia China, CITIC Securities, and Source Code Capital.
