Motion Brain has successfully completed nearly 100 million yuan in a Pre-A funding round, with investors including leading property service companies and investment platforms. This follows a previous 300 million yuan Pre-A round in May 2026, marking a rapid growth trajectory with a valuation increase of over tenfold since early 2023.
Founded in January 2025, Motion Brain aims to equip one billion robots with a native general-purpose brain, leveraging a unique approach centered around action. The company has developed several models, including the MotionGPT and STI-WM, which enhance robotic capabilities and reduce reliance on traditional data sources, achieving a 90% reduction in real machine data needs.
Looking ahead, Motion Brain is positioned to continue its rapid development in the embodied intelligence sector, with plans to further enhance its technology stack and expand its market presence. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
