In 2024, ROBOTERA launched the world's first direct-drive dexterous hand, achieving about 70% of human-level efficiency in logistics operations; as a standalone product, over 1,000 units were shipped in 2025, 50% to overseas markets.
Commercial Deployment and Order Growth
With fully in-house hardware and industrial partnerships, ROBOTERA's commercial rollout shows high market adoption and repeat orders. To date, cumulative orders have exceeded RMB 500 million, 50% from international clients, including nine of the world's top 10 publicly listed tech companies, some placing repeat orders up to six times.
In logistics, the company has deployed robotic solutions in Shenzhen, Huzhou, Hangzhou, Hefei, and Beijing, achieving operational efficiencies of up to 70% in some scenarios. Collaborating with SF Express, ROBOTERA launched a cross-border logistics inspection solution, which has been officially deployed at customs, with single orders exceeding RMB 50 million--signaling a move from pilot projects to large-scale delivery.
Looking Ahead
Beyond logistics, industrial clients include Samsung, Geely, Renault, Lenovo, Haier, TCL, and Century Golden Resources, spanning 3C, automotive, and high-end manufacturing sectors. The newly raised funds will accelerate technology iteration and product scale-up, with a focus on e-commerce logistics, industrial manufacturing, and pharmaceutical distribution. ROBOTERA aims to advance the deployment of robots in industrial applications, leveraging its technological expertise and industry partnerships to strengthen competitiveness in both domestic and international markets.
