    After robots start working, three sets of accounts still need to be settled

    Unitree Technology listed on August 19, becoming the A-share market's "first humanoid robot stock," with its intraday market value briefly reaching 444.9 billion yuan; nearly two months after listing, its total market value once fell to about 170 billion yuan. Using Unitree's valuation swings as a sample, the article argues that the robotics industry needs to settle three sets of accounts: the technology account, the business account, and the replication account. It cites the production-line livestream of eight AgiBot G2 units running continuously for six days at Longcheer Technology's Nanchang factory, completing more than 64,000 operations with a 99.99% success rate, and robots from Robot Era entering more than ten logistics centers including China Post and SF Express for sorting, to show that the industry is shifting from demonstrating capabilities to proving them.

    Dream Labs raises $90 million seed round and launches Dream API and Dream-1 model

    Dream Labs announced it has completed a $90 million seed round led by B Capital, with participation from Kindred Ventures and others. The company also launched Dream API, which can convert robot camera footage and natural-language instructions directly into motor commands, and said its flagship model Dream-1 is trained on videos of everyday human tasks and can zero-shot control any robot with a gripper.

    Why it matters: Dream-1's cross-hardware zero-shot control and the open approach of Dream API provide a concrete reference for judging the transferability of general-purpose robot models.

    State capital behind the embodied AI frenzy: chasing deals, inflating valuations, guessing the future from policy documents

    Hardware Kr interviewed multiple investors and FAs to trace how local state capital moved to the forefront of the embodied AI sector: in the first half of 2026, the sector saw over 300 domestic financing events, up 137% year on year, with 93.5 billion yuan disclosed in total, and state-owned institutions participated in 42% of large deals. Local investment promotion teams seek chain-leader companies according to policy directions, and some cities divide regional specialization by core components, bodies and brains, and dexterous hands. After Unitree's September 2026 listing, its market value halved and Hong Kong's 18C rules tightened; several interviewees believe the real financing pressure will be concentrated after November 2026.

    AgiBot's hundred-robot synchronized dance, Unitree H2-X structural part falls off: humanoid robot evaluation criteria have changed

    One hundred AgiBot Expedition A3 robots completed a synchronized performance via the self-developed Lingdong LinkBots cluster control platform, while Unitree's H2-X had a lower-leg structural component detach during testing. The article argues that humanoid robots have thus split into two evaluation tracks: commercial performances look at mass-delivery consistency and cluster scheduling, while industrial scenarios look at single-unit extreme durability and reliability. Investment focus should shift from motion demonstrations to mass-production yield, batch consistency, durability testing, and cluster scheduling capability.
