This morning, the robotics industry witnessed a new wave of capital inflow — Qianxun Intelligent announced a 600 million yuan Pre-A+ round financing, LimX Dynamics disclosed a new strategic round of financing, and Zhongqing Robotics officially announced an A1 round financing. The three companies were led by JD.com Group. These series of actions mark that JD.com is accelerating its investment layout in the field of embodied intelligence, drawing widespread attention from the market on the technological transformation of intelligent supply chain.
Regarding the intensive investment activities, a relevant person in charge of JD.com Group responded that the company is continuously increasing strategic investment in frontier technology sectors such as embodied intelligence and large models. In the future, it will focus on the needs of supply chain scenarios, building an intelligent technology system covering the entire "warehouse-transport-delivery" chain through internal R&D and external ecological investment. Data shows that JD Logistics has cumulatively invested over 20 billion yuan in automation technology R&D and holds more than 4,000 related patents.
According to the "Intelligent Supply Chain Technology White Paper" released by the Technical Committee of JD.com Group, by 2025, JD.com will build the world's first fully automated supply chain network throughout the entire process. Key technologies such as robot cluster collaboration and multimodal human-machine interaction will achieve breakthroughs. This wave of financing may indicate that the supply chain intelligence revolution starting with warehouse robots is moving from single-point technology innovation to a new stage of ecological system restructuring.
