Beijing (Gasgoo)-On August 20, SpeedBot Robotics, a Chinese technology company specializing in AI-enhanced machine vision technologies for industrial automation, announced it had raised more than 100 million yuan in a Series B+ financing round, led exclusively by a fund under V-Capital.
The latest round follows the completion of the company's 300 million yuan Series B financing in 2022, injecting fresh momentum into its development. The capitals will be used primarily for the advancement of embodied industrial intelligence products and market expansion in the shipbuilding and lithium battery sectors.
Founded in 2018, SpeedBot Robotics focuses on "AI + 3D vision", industrial intelligent software, and smart factory solutions. In industries such as heavy machinery, automotive, and new energy, the inspection of workpieces and finished products has traditionally relied on skilled workers, a process that is time-consuming, inefficient, and prone to accuracy issues.
To address this widespread challenge, SpeedBot Robotics' R&D team made a series of breakthroughs in visual measurement technology, developing a portfolio of intelligent measurement products. In particular, the company has built a dual-driven solution matrix that integrates intelligent manufacturing and measurement, covering the entire automotive production chain—including stamping, welding, painting, and final assembly. This enables automakers and component suppliers to pursue digital transformation from incremental improvements to full-scale upgrades.
Thanks to these innovations, SpeedBot Robotics has grown from a small startup of just over a dozen employees into a leading player in AI machine vision and industrial intelligent software within six years, and is now preparing for entry into the capital markets.
The company has completed several financing rounds in recent years, backed by investors including Turing Ventures, Yicun Capital, MSA Capital, CCIG, and Matrix Partners. With this support, SpeedBot Robotics has accelerated its overseas expansion, establishing subsidiaries in Germany, Singapore, Vietnam, and Canada. It has also increased investment in R&D, inaugurating a new Shanghai R&D center in August 2022 to deepen industrial collaboration and speed the commercialization of research.
