逐际动力 (Zero-One Robotics) has secured $200 million in a Pre-IPO funding round, valuing the company at 15 billion yuan, with a significant portion of the investment coming from international sources. The company plans to use these funds to accelerate its Hong Kong IPO, enhance its "brain" technology by integrating large models with world models for better decision-making and planning, and scale up the production and delivery of its humanoid robots. CEO Zhang Wei emphasized that the company avoids performance-based contracts, focusing instead on long-term value creation and the practical application of robot skills, suggesting that the current hype around "world models" needs to be demystified.
