## Summary

Embodied intelligence funding in October totaled only 33 deals, nearly halving from September, but total amount did not drop significantly, with capital shifting to leading complete-machine makers and mid-to-late-stage projects. Old shares were offloaded at 65% to 80% of face value, while capital flowed to core components such as tactile sensing, power modules, and data engines, as well as infrastructure like robot assembly plants. On the industry side, full-year humanoid robot output is expected to reach 100,000 units, with first-half sales up 22% year on year.
