Chinese robotics startup Linkerbot is aiming for $6 billion valuation[WATCH]

Linkerbot, a Beijing-based robotics startup, is preparing for a fresh funding round that could value the company at $6 billion. The company dominates the global market for high-dexterity humanoid robotic hands, holding over 80% market share. Linkerbot's technology is being used in industrial settings, research institutions, and universities, with production capacity set to scale to 10,000 units per month. The company's proprietary platform, LinkerSkillNet, converts human actions into standardized robotic capabilities, including over 500 discrete skills. Linkerbot's hands are being integrated into existing robotic arms to reduce costs, rather than purchasing full humanoid systems. Major investors include Ant Group, HongShan Group, and state-backed investors such as Zhongguancun Science Park Fund.
