What happened: Sichuan Embodied Humanoid Robot Technology (EIR) completed a Pre-A funding round of over 100 million yuan, supported alongside a humanoid robot pilot maturation project with provincial, municipal and county state capital participation. Why it matters: EIR positions companionship and purchase cost alongside task capability as competitive factors for small and mid-size bipedal humanoids, and says its three product lines are already in batch delivery.
