- Xynova
Participated · Series A · Jul 2026
Founded less than two years ago, Xynova develops full-stack dexterous hands combining hardware, materials, motion control and manipulation algorithms. Its product line includes Flex 1 — a tendon-driven hand launched in August 2025 with a 380 g palm and payload capacity exceeding 30 kg — and Flex 2, introduced in May 2026 as the industry’s first hybrid tendon-driven plus direct-drive bionic hand with 23 degrees of freedom and a palm weight under 400 g. The company reports industrial-grade durability (tendon lifespan over 1.5 million cycles and whole-hand lifespans exceeding 1 million opening/closing cycles) and claims its hands have passed high-low temperature, vibration and drop tests. Xynova has expanded rapidly to a team of over 300 people, including more than 150 R&D staff, and established a 5,400 sqm factory in Hangzhou with targeted annual capacity of 10,000 units by year-end. Its investor base comprises major industrial and internet strategic backers, and the company has completed consecutive financing rounds totaling about ¥1.5 billion within months, positioning it for mass-production deployment in industrial and consumer scenarios.
- Octopus Dynamics
Participated · Equity · Mar 2026
Octopus Dynamics is focused on building a unified system for embodied intelligence aimed at physical AGI and has proposed the SYNTH Deep Thought architecture as its core technology framework. SYNTH encompasses three pillars: SYNAction (an end-to-end manipulation architecture called REMA that layers high-, mid- and low-frequency control), SYNWorld (a Vision–Force–Tactile World Foundation Model integrating visual, force and tactile modalities) and SYNData (an Omni-modal Physical Data System, OPDS, for scalable multi-modal data capture). The company intends to use its recent financing to accelerate R&D, construct its data system and expand technical hiring. Founded in January 2026 by Du Dalong, the team includes researchers and engineers from Horizon Robotics, Baidu, Microsoft, Alibaba, ByteDance, NIO, XPeng and Li Auto. Leadership highlights include Du Dalong’s Tsinghua background, his role as an early employee at Horizon Robotics, and a prior co-founded company, Jianzhi Robotics, which was acquired at the end of 2025. The company emphasizes end-to-end execution cycles in real environments and claims system-level integration of model architecture, world modeling and data as central to achieving embodied intelligence.
