D-Robotics, which supplies computing chips, development kits and software to robot makers rather than building complete machines, has closed a $400 million Series C led by Mirae Asset. Yicai reported the company announcement, which named Meituan’s strategic-investment arm and government-backed investment platforms among the participants.
A developer can start on one of D-Robotics’ RDK boards, using the X3 for entry-level work or moving up to the S600 for heavier embodied-intelligence workloads. RDK OS runs on the hardware, NodeHub distributes algorithms and applications, and Studio provides a development environment. The result is a reusable computing layer that a manufacturer can integrate into its own vacuum, logistics machine, quadruped or humanoid.
The financing will support both sides of that stack. D-Robotics plans to broaden its Sunrise chip lineup and connect data collection, model training, simulation and on-device deployment through one software platform. The company also said first-half 2026 revenue grew severalfold from a year earlier and cumulative Sunrise shipments had exceeded 8 million.
Those shipments aren’t all bets on humanoid robots. In May 2025, investor 5Y Capital said the Sunrise family had already passed 5 million shipments and was used in flagship consumer robots from Ecovacs and Narwal. The latest count shows that D-Robotics entered this round with volume in established robot categories while spending to address newer ones.
Capital has arrived almost as quickly. Yicai reported in April that a $150 million B2 financing took total Series B funding to $270 million, making the Series C $130 million larger and only about five months later. Meanwhile, Horizon Robotics’ August filing said it deconsolidated D-Robotics effective March 31, leaving it a material associate; the filing also attributed more than 400 customers across more than 100 robot categories and coverage of more than half of China’s embodied-intelligence companies to D-Robotics.
