自变量机器人完成近20亿元B轮融资,小米战投、红杉中国领投丨智能涌现独家

文|邱晓芬 编辑|苏建勋 《智能涌现》独家获悉,自变量机器人已经于三月底至四月初完成近20亿元B轮融资,领投方为小米战投和红杉中国。 不久前,美团、阿里和字节分别在A轮、A+轮、A++轮领投或独投自变量机器人。截至目前,自变量已成为国内唯一一家同时被四家互联网大厂投资的具身智能企业。 对此,自变量方面暂无回应。 小米战投在具身智能机器人领域已落子,近两年公开的投资项目包括纬钛机器人(触觉传感)、曦诺未来(灵巧手)、萝博派对(本体)、章鱼动力(模型)。 除了对外投资布局,小米自己的机器人产品也正在快速推进中。不久前,2026年4月,小米机器人CyberOne已进入小米汽车工厂进行真产线实习,核心目标是跑通汽车制造中的柔性装配环节 。 在模型方面,2026年2月,小米也已经开源了视觉-语言-动作(VLA)模型 Xiaomi-Robotics-0。 有知情人士向《智能涌现》分析,不同于行业里“微调开源模型”的选择,自变量是国内极少数坚持完全自研具身智能基础模型的公司,并且一直坚持走端到端路线。 具体而言,在其自研的“WALL-A”模型中,自变量 将视觉、语言、触觉与动作信号,统一映射为一种连续的高维Token序列 。这些统一的语言会被放进单一的Transformer架构中,实现多模态联合输入与同步输出。 自变量联合创始人、CTO王昊去年年底接受《智能涌现》采访时曾表示,这种原生多模态的统

Skild AI acquires Zebra Technologies’ robotics automation business

Skild AI has acquired Zebra Technologies’ robotics automation business, including its Symmetry Fulfillment orchestration platform. This strategic move integrates Zebra's established automation platform with Skild AI's core technology, the 'Skild Brain,' an 'omnibodied AI software' designed to control any robot without prior knowledge of its exact body form.

→ This acquisition could accelerate the adoption of universal AI control platforms in robotics, potentially disrupting proprietary robot ecosystems and fostering consolidation within the industrial automation software market.
