Kinetix AI raises $75M for humanoid robots

Kinetix AI, a Shenzhen embodied-AI startup founded in 2025, raised more than RMB 500 million—roughly $75 million—in Angel+ financing led by Temasek-backed Vertex Ventures, according to Gasgoo’s financing report. The capital will fund Kinetix’s data–model–hardware loop and KAIBot humanoid, while coverage of the round places it among the larger early checks in China’s humanoid market. Operators should file this as a capital signal—not a delivery date—and use XPeng’s $900M pre-delivery robotics round as a reminder to separate funding from shipped units.
