About
Linkerbot was registered in Beijing in July 2023; its founding team did stealth R&D from 2019 and opened market-oriented fundraising in 2025, completing 7 rounds in under two years with investors including Ant Group, 道得投资 and the Zhongguancun Science City Fund. Products cover the three transmission routes of linkage, tendon and direct drive, with 7-42 degrees of freedom, including the L20, L30, O6 and L6 models; the O6 standard version costs RMB 6,666 and the Lite version RMB 3,999 after subsidies. The company holds 80%+ global market share in high-DoF dexterous hands, owns 4 self-built factories, and is the world's only dexterous hand maker producing a thousand units per month (peak 4,000); its Q4 2025 revenue was RMB 250M, about 25 times the whole of the previous year. In February 2026 its post-Series B valuation broke RMB 10B and exceeded RMB 20B after the Series B+ in April; in May it launched a new round targeting a $6B valuation, planning to file for a Hong Kong IPO in 2027. It is also building the Linker Genesis embodied foundation model, the LinkerSkillNet skill library (500+ skills of data) and UMI-Dex data collection devices, expanding from selling hardware to a skill ecosystem with a 'standardized hardware + skill service premium' model, as a core upstream component supplier for humanoid robots.
Technical Approach
Products simultaneously cover the three mainstream transmission routes — linkage, tendon and direct drive — with 7-42 DoF; the company proposes a 'self-evolving agent' paradigm, insists on real-machine collection of real tactile data, and builds a 'hardware + skill ecosystem' flywheel; all core components are developed in-house, with engineering plastics replacing metal to cut costs by about 60%, and ASP is about 50% below overseas products; it plans to deploy 1 million dexterous-hand-equipped humanoid robots for data collection in the future.
