Sichuan Embodied Tech EIR Closes Over 100M Yuan Pre-A Round
KEY FACTS
- Sichuan Embodied Humanoid Robot Technology Co., Ltd. has completed a Pre-A funding round of over 100 million yuan.
- The funds will be used for iterating Aiqiu, building a ten-thousand-unit production base, and establishing a sales system.
- Aiqiu starts at 98,000 yuan and uses a 3D ultra-short-throw projection facial solution.
- The Deyang mass-production base is expected to begin production by the end of 2026, expanding capacity from a thousand units to ten thousand units.
- All three product lines—Aiqiu, Tianxun, and Tianxingzhe—have entered the batch delivery stage.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION
Three tiers of state-owned capital jointly betting on an emotional companion robot shows that local industrial capital is starting to pay for consumer-level deployment of embodied intelligence. The 98,000 yuan price tag pulls bipedal humanoids into a range where households can at least discuss them, but the repeat-purchase logic for emotional interaction remains unproven. The real signal is the binding of the mass-production base to the data flywheel: industry competition is shifting from showing off technical tricks to cost and scenario closed loops.
