Ace Robotics Secures Angel Funding Led by Ant Group to Advance Embodied AI Development
Ace Robotics has raised an undisclosed amount in an angel funding round led by Ant Group, with participation from Qiming Venture Partners, GVC, Hony Capital, Lenovo Capital, and Shanghai Jiaotong University's Lotus Capital. Existing investor SenseTime also increased their stake.
The funds will advance Ace Robotics' ACE embodied AI development and accelerate its Kairos 3.0 World Model, targeting applications in energy, transportation, and tourism. In December 2025, Ace introduced its ACE R&D paradigm for environmental data collection, which it claims will address data scarcity in the industry.
The company’s A1 embodied 'superbrain' module allows various robots to navigate and perform tasks. Ace Robotics is forming partnerships to create an autonomous embodied intelligence ecosystem.
