Shandong Future Robotics Secures Major Funding from CNPC Kunlun Capital

May 13, 2025

Shandong Future Robotics, China's pioneering deep-sea robotics manufacturer, has secured a strategic investment worth hundreds of millions of yuan from CNPC Kunlun Capital. This partnership marks a milestone in China's push toward maritime technological independence. As the first Chinese company to achieve complete domestic control over the entire deep-sea robotics value chain, Shandong Future Robotics continues to break records - their "VY150" underwater robot recently reached depths of 2,021 meters, showcasing the company's world-class capabilities. With China's marine economy surpassing 10 trillion yuan in 2024 and deep-sea technology explicitly mentioned in the 2025 government work report, this investment comes at a pivotal moment for the industry's development. The funds will expand production capacity and strengthen Shandong Future Robotics' market leadership as they continue to develop critical deep-sea technologies that were previously dominated by foreign suppliers.
