    Juqiao Industries completes 100-million-yuan Series A funding, bringing fabric electronic skin into the robot tactile sensing sector

    Shandong-based flexible fabric tactile sensing company Juqiao Industries announced on October 29 that it completed a 100-million-yuan Series A funding round, led by Ant Group, with Lingyi Venture Capital, Weihai Gangrong, and Qingdao Hexin participating. The article states that it weaves functional fibers into sensing networks, and that in September 2025 its 1,000th set of humanoid robot fabric electronic skin rolled off the production line, with customers including Unitree, Songyan Power, and Lingcifang; however, its single-point accuracy is inferior to vision-based tactile solutions, making it better suited to large-area coverage scenarios such as the torso and soles of the feet.

    Embodied AI Secondary Development Companies: Closest to Demand, Boundaries Are Shifting

    Secondary development companies in the embodied AI supply chain are facing niche compression as robot body manufacturers expand into the application layer. Unitree opened its UniStore shared application platform in May, Leju unveiled its LeTools Skills development toolchain in October, and ANYbotics upgraded Data Navigator to Shift in October, connecting fleet tasks and inspection data to maintenance systems. Secondary development firms are diverging along software platforms, industry solutions, and terminal operations, and their long-term position depends on their own product and service capabilities.

    Independent inventor releases on-demand network layer, seeks feedback for teleoperation and haptic feedback

    An independent inventor in Ontario is seeking feedback from the robotics, teleoperation, and haptics fields on his network layer project, which is off by default and only enables bounded continuity handling when the connection is unstable to keep output smooth. In his self-testing under severe burst packet loss injected over Ethernet, the continuity score rose from 65 to 85 (out of 100); under WiFi gaming-like conditions, output smoothness fluctuation decreased by about 71%; average overhead on a clean network was +0.0009 ms; and all 36 discrete commands were delivered correctly with no phantom or duplicate events.

    The stronger Astra gets, the more one question matters: Is a Chinese robot's "body" an asset or a peripheral?

    SenseTime's Astra reaches 100% on LIBERO-Long++ and 81.9% on RoboDojo; the stronger the general-purpose brain, the more easily a robot body that conforms to standard interfaces can be swapped out as a "peripheral." Using Unitree's real-machine data flywheel, Zhiyuan's 3/4 R&D investment in the large and small brains, and Galaxy General's AstraBrain-WBC 0.5 trained on 2 billion frames of motion-capture data (92.58% zero-shot motion-tracking success rate, 0.39 ms inference latency) as examples, the article proposes three criteria: depth of in-house development at the execution layer, data return rate, and scenario replacement cost.

    Humanoid Robots Accelerate Into Factories Across China: What Else Must They Learn to Do the Work?

    Shanghai has proposed deploying 8,000 humanoid robots into factories by 2028, while Jiangsu, Shenzhen and other regions are also advancing real-scenario training and production-line deployment; companies including SAIC and CATL have disclosed application progress. Most deployed cases are concentrated in decomposable processes such as cell grabbing and loading, test loading and unloading, and material handling and sorting. For example, AgiBot's "Nengzai No. 1" works at about one unit every 2 seconds on Buick's battery mass-production line, and Galbot S1 has entered CATL's production line to handle material handling and sorting. The article notes that entering factories still requires passing hurdles in stability, battery life and cost accounting, and cross-factory replication also requires reducing technology adaptation and system integration costs.
