Ant Group Leads Investment, Existing Shareholders Oversubscribe and Add Investment, Daimeng Secures Hundreds of Millions in Funding Within Two Months to Break Through Physical AI with Full-Stack Tactile Capabilities

Daimeng Robotics announced the completion of hundreds of millions of yuan in funding, led by Ant Group, with existing shareholders oversubscribing and adding investment. This funding represents another strategic layout by Ant Group in the embodied AI sector, focusing specifically on the tactile perception field.

Daimeng's core technology path is to build full-stack physical AI capabilities, using touch as the entry point, combined with data and models. Tactile perception is key for robots to achieve fine manipulation and complex environment interaction, and remains a technical difficulty in the industry.

Ant Group has previously invested in several embodied AI enterprises such as Unitree Robotics and Xinghaitu. This additional investment in the tactile track shows capital's optimism for this niche direction. Continuous financing also reflects the team's progress in technology research and development.

With the accumulation of tactile data and model iteration, robots are expected to possess smarter perception and operation capabilities in the physical world. This will promote the practical application of embodied AI in industrial, service, and other scenarios.
