Nearly HKD 1 Billion Raised! RoboSense Plans to Allocate 70% for Robotics Development

On February 26, Hong Kong-listed RoboSense, known as the "first stock in China for intelligent driving perception systems," announced an important plan: it will issue up to 22 million new shares to the market at a price of HKD 46.15 per share.

According to estimates, the total amount raised from this placement is expected to be approximately HKD 1.015 billion, and after deducting related commissions and estimated expenses, the net proceeds are expected to be around HKD 989 million.

In terms of fund usage, 70% will be allocated to research and development, covering high-definition sensors, AI perception technology, dexterous hands, robot vision, and key components; 20% will be invested in building and upgrading domestic and international production lines, with strict quality control; and 10% will be used to seek strategic partnerships. This underscores its strong determination to enter the robotics field and marks the second major strategic move this year.

This series of funding operations and strategic planning highlights RoboSense's firm resolve to advance into the robotics sector. In fact, this is already its second major strategic action in the robotics industry this year. Earlier this year, RoboSense clearly defined its position in the robotics wave as a supplier of incremental parts and solutions for intelligent robots. Leveraging its strong technological foundation and innovation capabilities, the company focuses on developing general robotic mobility and operation solutions and has introduced a series of incremental parts suitable for various scenarios, injecting new vitality and momentum into the robotics industry.

As the saying goes, "practice makes perfect," RoboSense has created a humanoid robot as a platform for developing general robot components and has developed three core incremental parts: robot vision, touch sensing, and joint components.

The dexterous hand, the "soul" of robot precision operations, is as flexible as human hands and can complete complex tasks such as grabbing, holding, and fine manipulation. It is a vital tool for robot interaction with the external world. Machine vision, the "eyes" of robots, uses advanced lidar and camera technologies to provide robots with comprehensive, high-precision environmental information, enabling precise localization, navigation, and obstacle avoidance in complex environments. Joints, the pivot points of robot movement, determine the flexibility and stability of robot actions, just like human joints, ensuring smooth and free movement in various complex terrains and environments.

These three core components complement each other and collectively form the foundation for the robot's powerful performance. Each one is a key factor that allows robots to operate efficiently and function in complex environments.

Currently, RoboSense has launched the second generation dexterous hand Papert 2.0, the Active Camera machine vision solution, the FS-3D force sensor for foot robots, the high-power density linear motor LA-8000 for robot hip and knee joints, and the robot domain controller DC-G1, which supports multiple models and algorithms.

In fact, RoboSense's layout in the robotics field has not been achieved overnight. Looking back, the company has always closely monitored industry dynamics, continuously increased its R&D investment, and actively built technical capabilities.

In terms of business cooperation, RoboSense has actively expanded its partner network: it has established a deep cooperation with Unitree Robotics, a current rising star in the robotics field, and provided key lidar components for its H1 robot's head. Additionally, RoboSense has formed strategic partnerships with companies such as Kuwa Technology and White Rhino, jointly exploring new paths for urban service intelligence transformation and accelerating the commercialization of unmanned delivery.

The lidar, which embodies countless technological innovations and a commitment to quality, has officially been delivered to Humanoid Robotics (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. and installed on the world's first full-size open-source humanoid robot, "Qinglong." With the support of E1R and a series of technological innovations, RoboSense will help "Qinglong" in deploying tasks across multiple scenarios, such as security patrols, education and research, and home services, promoting the widespread application of humanoid robots in more fields.

Recently, RoboSense was successfully included in Goldman's list of key companies in the global humanoid robot industry chain and also featured in Morgan Stanley's latest report, "The Humanoid 100: Mapping the Humanoid Robot Value Chain."

These two international authoritative recognitions not only highly affirm RoboSense's past efforts but also open up broader prospects for its future development. Looking ahead, RoboSense will continue to uphold its development philosophy of innovation-driven, quality-first, and win-win cooperation, continuing to deepen its presence in the robotics sector and drive the global robotics industry toward new heights.
