Linkerbot Closes Nearly $207 Million Series B Round

Yesterday, Linkerbot, a global leader in dexterous hands, completed a Series B funding round of nearly RMB 1.5 billion (approximately $207 million). This round was led by Daode Investment and Shengshi Investment, with participation from prominent investment institutions and industrial investors including Yingyuan Puyuan Fund, Nova Nebula, Xinding Capital, Zhonghe Capital, Zhilu Capital, Chengzhu Investment, Linyun Capital, Jiaming Haochun, Caixin Capital, and Singapore Eastern Epic Capitals, among others.

The proceeds from this funding round will be used for core product technology R&D, further capacity expansion, and building full-stack foundational capabilities. This will strengthen its leadership as a dexterous hand unicorn, accelerate dexterous manipulation innovation, and propel embodied intelligence into a new phase of world creation.

Its Linker Hand series of dexterous hands comprehensively covers various vertical and segmented scenarios, achieving full coverage of technical routes including tendon-driven, direct-drive, and linkage-based approaches, leading the industry with high performance, high durability, and high reliability. It has now become the world's only company capable of monthly production of thousands of high-DOF dexterous hands, capturing over 80% of the global high-DOF dexterous hand market, emerging as a new industry unicorn in the dexterous hand sector, reshaping the global dexterous hand market landscape with groundbreaking industrialization capabilities.

Linkerbot has developed fully self-researched full-stack deep R&D capabilities covering underlying actuation, core sensing, and upper-layer algorithms, possessing deep integration and self-reinforcing closed-loop technical capabilities from physical action execution to intelligent autonomous decision-making in dexterous manipulation, creating a comprehensive autonomous full-stack foundation for dexterous operations, continuously driving intelligent dimensionality upgrades in embodied intelligence.

In its early days, Linker Hand L20 immediately led global high-DOF dexterous hands into a new capability cycle upon launch, becoming an industry benchmark product with its high degrees of freedom and high-performance capabilities. Subsequently, Linkerbot launched multiple new products including Linker Hand O6, L6, L20 Lite, as well as Linker Hand L20 Industrial Edition and L30, advancing in parallel across lightweight design, extreme performance, and high quality at affordable prices, forming a comprehensive and rich dexterous hand product matrix.

Based on complete product capabilities, the Linker Hand series has achieved capability and skill coverage across all scenarios. Linkerbot has further launched various embodied intelligence products including the Linkerbot Orchestra robot band, Linkerbot Industrial Workstation, and Open TeleDex teleoperation system, with a product portfolio covering full application scenarios from scientific research exploration and humanoid robots to industrial automation.

Linkerbot continues to drive software-hardware synergistic development and data foundation accumulation. With the Open TeleDex modular robot teleoperation system, it has built a "TripleAny" open architecture supporting "any external device, any robotic arm, any dexterous hand," dramatically reducing system setup costs for dexterous manipulation data collection. It has created the LinkerSkillNet multimodal data collection system, building the world's largest dexterous manipulation skill library, empowering developers to rapidly build new applications. It has also innovatively launched the Dex-Serl real-robot reinforcement learning framework, introducing end-effector force sensing and automated auxiliary action algorithms, substantially improving model training automation.

At this critical juncture in the industrial intelligence wave, dexterous hands, as a key component of embodied intelligence, are shouldering the core mission of the "last centimeter" of physical interaction. Linkerbot targets achieving delivery scale of 50,000-100,000 units in 2026, using this to drive technological transformation in dexterous manipulation, fulfilling the role of innovation leader, continuously building a richer industrial ecosystem, promoting cross-domain technology deployment, and advancing toward widespread global application and empowerment of dexterous manipulation.
