On October 10, Wuxi Juxie Intelligent and Moxian Technology announced simultaneous funding rounds in the embodied intelligence supply chain. AgiBot is listed as an investor in both companies, which focus on integrated joint modules and flexible tactile sensors, respectively. This trend reflects a growing pattern where more embodied intelligence companies in China, currently in funding stages, are investing in upstream components and data services.
The significance of this investment trend lies in the shift towards 'funding while investing,' which is becoming common among humanoid robot companies. As of September 2026, over 20 such companies in China have collectively made more than 100 external investments. This strategy is not limited to leading firms but is increasingly adopted by a broader range of companies in the sector.
Looking ahead, the focus on supply chain binding and data collaboration is expected to continue. Companies are investing to secure core component capacities and enhance data collection capabilities, which are crucial for training embodied intelligence models. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
