Robotics Company ROBOTERA Raises More Than $200 Million in Round Led by SF Group

Robotics company ROBOTERA announced it raised more than $200 million in a new round led by SF Group, HSG and IDG Capital.

What happened

ROBOTERA announced on May 8, 2026, that it raised more than $200 million in a new funding round led by SF Group. Participants included HSG, IDG Capital, Hillhouse Investment and CICC Capital, among others, and demand significantly exceeded the target. The company completed a 1 billion yuan strategic round in March, and the latest funding has expanded its investor base.

Why it matters

The latest funding is significant because ROBOTERA has already said it is working with China Post and SF Group to deploy robots at more than a dozen logistics centers, and began deliveries on the scale of thousands of units in the second quarter of 2026. As a robotics company with sites in active operation, rather than one merely raising funds, it is easier to see how the capital could support its next phase of delivery expansion.
