Chinese firm Partner Robotics has raised an eight-figure RMB sum in series A funding to deploy robots on construction sites worldwide.

Founded in 2023 by Kecheng Wang, former CEO of Bright Dream Robotics, Partner Robotics is built by a team with years of experience in construction robotics and international expansion. The new capital will support three priorities: developing and commercialising embodied intelligence technologies for construction scenarios; expanding overseas through distribution networks, service centres and marketing campaigns; and strengthening its supply chain for quality, efficiency and cost optimisation.

For now, the company is focusing on two products – the P900 floor tile paving robot and L3000 intelligent scribing robot. Both address specific aspects and fit into what the company describes as a “high-value and feasible” product roadmap, with the long-term aim of covering the entire construction lifecycle with embodied intelligence.

The P900 is designed to stabilise quality through precision parameter controls and reduce hollow spots. The company says its system works five to six times faster than human labour.

The L3000 supports multiple phases of construction, from structure to finishing. It can reportedly deliver four to six times the efficiency of manual work, with accuracy down to a deviation of two millimetres.

On the technical side, Partner has developed a multi-sensor perception system and a cloud-based simulation platform to train robots continuously with real-world construction data. Its systems also integrate a unified vision-and-motion control model, heavy-load robotic arms and high-precision optical sensors.

One of the L3000’s flagship projects was in Singapore, where the government commissioned a 100 by 80m pattern for the country’s 60th National Day celebration. Partner’s scribing robot was selected over competitors including HP and Hitachi, standing out for its precision, efficiency and adaptability under difficult conditions.

The series A funding round was led by China Growth Capital, with participation from existing investors Cowin Capital and Redpoint China Ventures. Index Capital served as the financial advisor. Including its angel round completed at the end of 2024, the company has raised about RMB100m ($14m) to date.

Since mid-2025, Partner Robotics (www.partnerrobotics.com) has expanded internationally, securing over RMB10m in overseas orders and completing nearly 100,000 square metres of tiling work. The company’s primary markets span Europe, North America and the Middle East, with additional sales in China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Singapore.
