ZhiJian Dynamics, a robotics startup founded by former core members of Li Auto, has completed five rounds of financing within just eight months of its inception, raising a total of RMB 2 billion and achieving a valuation exceeding USD 1 billion. The company has successfully transferred its automotive industry-derived "technology philosophy" into the field of embodied intelligent robotics, rapidly attracting top-tier investors including Sequoia Capital, Legend Capital, BlueRun Ventures, and Yuanjing Capital, as well as two major strategic investors—Alibaba among them. Backed by this prestigious investor lineup and an exceptionally efficient fundraising pace, ZhiJian Dynamics firmly established itself in March 2026 as a core player in the highly competitive embodied intelligence robotics sector.
