Partner Robotics Co., which develops intelligent robots for construction, today announced that it has closed a Series A funding round. The company said the round was in the eight-figure RMB range; 10 million RMB is equivalent to around $1.4 million U.S.

Kecheng Wang, the former CEO of Bright Dream Robotics, founded Partner Robotics in 2023. He has years of experience in robotics and international expansion to the table.

Since it was founded, Partner Robotics said it has raised around RMB 100 million, or about $14 million. The Dongguan, China-based company said the new capital will support three priorities:

  1. Developing and commercializing embodied intelligence technologies for construction scenarios
  2. Expanding overseas through distribution networks, service centers, and marketing campaigns
  3. Strengthening its supply chain for quality, efficiency, and cost optimization strategy.

Partner Robotics said its primary markets span Europe, North America, and the Middle East, with additional sales in mainland China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Singapore.

China Growth Capital led the Series A round. Existing investors Cowin Capital and Redpoint China Ventures also participated. Index Capital served as the financial advisor.

Partner Robotics offers two construction systems

For now, Partner Robotics is focusing on two products: the Floor Tile Paving Robot P900 and the Intelligent Scribing Robot L3000. Both address specific challenges and fit into what the company claimed was its “high-value and feasible” product roadmap.

Partner Robotics stated that its long-term goal is to cover the entire construction lifecycle with embodied intelligence systems.

Partner designed the Floor Tile Paving Robot to stabilize quality through precision parameter controls and reduce hollow spots. The company asserted that the P900 works five to six times faster than human labor.

The L3000 Intelligent Scribing Robot supports multiple phases of construction, from structure to finishing, said Partner Robotics. It can reportedly deliver four to six times the efficiency of manual work, with accuracy down to a deviation of 2 mm (0.07 in.).

On the technical side, Partner Robotics said it has developed a multi-sensor perception system and a cloud-based simulation platform to continuously train robots with real-world construction data. Its systems also integrate a unified vision-and-motion control model, heavy-load robotic arms, and high-precision optical sensors.

Since mid-2025, Partner Robotics has expanded internationally, securing over RMB 10 million (about $1.4 million) in overseas orders and completing nearly 100,000 sq. m (107,639 sq. ft.) of tiling work.

One of the company’s flagship projects took place in Singapore, where the government commissioned a 100 by 80-m (328 by 262.4 ft.) pattern for the country’s 60th National Day celebration.

Partner Robotics noted that Singapore chose its scribing robot over those of competitors including HP and Hitachi because of its precision, efficiency, and adaptability under challenging conditions.

Robotics companies target construction tasks

Partner Robotics is far from the only company hoping to automate construction tasks. Dangerous work and labor shortages make the industry a suitable target for automation. However, often-chaotic outdoor condition make it a challenging environment to deploy robots.

Reframe Systems is another robotics startup targeting “end-to-end” construction. It is creating robotic micro-factories that can build more sustainable homes. Reframe Systems is starting with using robots to prepare and install wall panels.

ABB Robotics is also working with Cosmic to deploy robotic microfactories to build homes after California wildfires. Within the on-site microfactory, ABB said these systems fabricate custom structural wall panels with millimeter precision and deliver them just in time for assembly at the construction site.

Other companies, like Dusty Robotics, are working to automate specific construction tasks. Dusty offers the FieldPrinter 2 robot, which independently maps and marks 3D building designs onto 2D construction floors with 0.0625-in. accuracy.

SITE AD for the 2026 Robotics Summit save the date.

Iván Hernández Dalas: 4 Show Floor Takeaways from CES 2019: Robots and Drones, Oh My!

Image
We’ve had some time to recuperate from the madness of CES, in which more than 150,000 attendees and thousands of exhibitors displayed their latest gadgets, gizmos and yes, even robots, on the CES show floor. Last week’s reporter’s notebook focused on the collection of startups around the Eureka Park area of CES, but several of the same trends were evident on the main South Hall 2 area of the Las Vegas Convention Center, where drones, robotics, AR/VR, and gaming took center stage. While most of our time was spent at CES hosting the Service Robots Arrive in Daily Life event, we did have some time during the week to visit the show floor and record observations. Here’s what we saw on the show floor, as well as some of our own individual meetings: 1. Underwater drones make a big splash On the main floor, there was no busier aerial drone booth than the DJI booth, but that is expected given the company’s dominance in the space. But once you got past that, you noticed a lot more drone co...
