D-Robotics is a robotics infrastructure company that closed a $400 million Series C in September 2026 after shipping over 8 million Sunrise chips.
D-Robotics is a leading provider of robotics development infrastructure, spanning high-performance computing platforms, operating systems and applications, according to its Series C funding announcement distributed on PR Newswire. The release says D-Robotics' platforms, powered by its Sunrise chips and RDK robotics developer kits, drive AI robots ranging from humanoids and quadrupeds to home-service, companion and logistics AMR robots.[1]
D-Robotics closed a US$400 million Series C funding round, the company announced on PR Newswire on September 17, 2026, in a release datelined Hong Kong. The release says the round attracted strategic investment from a leading global internet company, alongside top-tier investment institutions and continued follow-on investment from existing shareholders, but it does not name any of those investors.[1]
D-Robotics said the Series C funding is aimed at enhancing its Sunrise chip product portfolio across all computing levels and at developing a software platform spanning the entire robot development chain, according to the same PR Newswire release. The sources opened for this profile do not disclose a post-money valuation for D-Robotics, so none is given here.[1]
D-Robotics reported that in the first half of 2026 its revenue grew several times year over year, cumulative shipments of its Sunrise series chips exceeded 8 million units, and its embodied AI business entered the mass-production stage, according to its PR Newswire funding announcement. The release also says the company's hardware-software integrated AI infrastructure completed large-scale validation over that period.[1]
D-Robotics launched the Sunrise S600, its embodied AI computing chip, in November 2025, and the chip had been adopted by more than 20 leading embodied AI customers within six months of launch, the company's PR Newswire release says. D-Robotics' own website footer reads "Copyright 2023-2026 D-Robotics," but the sources opened for this profile do not state the company's founding year, so none is given here.[1],[2]
No chief executive, founder or other named executive of D-Robotics is identified in the sources opened for this profile. The PR Newswire funding release and the company's own website describe the company and its products but do not quote or name any individual leader, so this profile does not name one.[1],[3]
D-Robotics named more than 20 leading embodied AI customers that adopted its Sunrise S600 chip within six months, including TARS, Spirit AI, X Square Robot, UBTECH, PaXini Tech, Astribot, FOURIER and Booster Robotics, according to its PR Newswire release. The release says these partners span humanoid robots, industrial wheeled robots, flexible consumer electronics manufacturing, embodied foundation models and omni-modal perception, with the majority already in mass production.[1]
D-Robotics runs a program called the D-Robotics Gravity Program, which the company's PR Newswire release says has backed more than 500 robotics innovators across 10 frontier categories, including open-source humanoids, AI sports coaching, embodied AI models, AI imaging and home companion robots, providing end-to-end support from product development and supply-chain selection to go-to-market strategy and fundraising roadshows.[1]
D-Robotics said more than 500 universities and over 100,000 developers across more than 20 countries have built hundreds of types of intelligent robots on its platform, serving millions of users worldwide, according to the same release and the company's own website, which repeats the same developer and university counts.[1],[3]
