UniX AI raises RMB 500 million in a Pre-A round, and property developer Greenland joins as a strategic investor
Suzhou-based UniX AI closed a RMB 500 million Pre-A round with Greenland Group among the new backers. The company says it already ships more than 100 robots a month, so the round is buying deployment channels in buildings and hotels more than research time.
UniX AI, a Suzhou embodied AI company founded in 2024, has closed a RMB 500 million Pre-A round, it announced on Nov. 9. Existing backers Xieno Investment and Yonghua Investment put in more again, and the new investors include Greenland Group, sensor maker Kolisensor, Huagong Venture Capital, Xinjing Fuying, the HKUST-backed Red Bird Qihang Fund and Yulin Industrial Investment.
Greenland is the name to read. The property group joins as a strategic investor and, the company says, a key downstream customer; the two will roll out robots in security, hotels and elderly care. That fits a business UniX describes as past the demo stage: it says it has shipped more than 100 robots a month since late 2025, with a peak above 300, and holds orders of 100 or more units from several large customers. Its robots already work in Hilton, JI Hotel and Home Inn hotels and on security contracts with Certis and Inspur, according to PEdaily.
Pre-A is an early label for those numbers. The money will go to algorithms, product iteration and its delivery system, and to scaling in property management, hotels and retail. The test is whether Greenland's own buildings and hotels show up as a named order.
