Muxi and Geely both take stakes in Daxiao Robotics: why a chipmaker and an automaker are betting on embodied AI

On October 8, a business registration change took place at Shanghai Daxiao Infinite Robotics, adding new shareholders including Muxi Digital Intelligence under Muxi and Geely Chuangxiang No. 20, a Geely Capital-affiliated entity; registered capital increased to 182 million yuan. Daxiao Robotics centers on the Kairos world model, and has already piloted a wheeled-arm lift robot at a Kunlun Haoke convenience store, completing product recognition, picking, transport, and packing. The article's analysis says Muxi values validation of domestic GPU software stack compatibility with world models, while Geely uses the investment to fill gaps in world models and robot manipulation capabilities, but taking a stake does not mean purchase orders or an exclusive partnership have been formed.
