Infiforce (原力无限 / INFIFORCE)
Category: Robotics / Embodied AI
Chinese embodied-intelligence startup building ego-native (first-person) world models and an "embodied brain" (AtomBrain) that transfers intelligence across multiple robot forms. Infiforce (原力无限 / INFIFORCE) was founded in 2023. The company is led by Isabella Bai (白惠源 / Bai Huiyuan). Based in Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China. Team size: 101-500. Total funding raised: $280.0M. Latest round: Series A. Key investors include Dunhong Asset Management (敦鸿资产), Creation Ventures / CCV (创世伙伴创投), Liding Capital (力鼎资本), Hangshi Industrial Investment (杭实产投), Xingtai Capital (兴泰资本), Zhejiang University Sci-Tech Innovation Group (浙大科创集团), Yandu State-owned Assets (盐都国控), Lishui State-owned Assets (丽水市国资), state-owned platforms..

Value proposition
Builds a truly embodied "brain" (AtomBrain) using first-person "Ego" data, causal world models and a full-stack AI infrastructure (DataGrid) so robots understand and predict the physical world and transfer skills across different robot bodies — lowering training-data cost vs. collecting all data from robots.
Products and solutions
AtomBrain (embodied brain), DataGrid (full-stack AI infra for data collection/processing/training/deployment), world models AtomVLA (97% LIBERO), AIM (93.1% RoboTwin 2.0), SAM3D-VLA (99.1% LIBERO), HiMem-WAM (97.7%), robots: AstroDroid (wheeled humanoid), UltraDroid (general-purpose humanoid), Little Atom (小原子 bipedal), FORCE series (specialized, incl. FORCE-01 auto-charging robot).
Unique value
Ego-native (first-person) data strategy + causal/implicit world models + AtomBrain common intelligence layer, enabling "one brain, many bodies" (一脑多身) across wheeled humanoids, bipedal and general-purpose robots.
Target customer
Industrial manufacturers, logistics/warehousing, commercial services, energy, inspection; also home/consumer smart-life robots.
Industries served
Manufacturing, Logistics & warehousing, Commercial services, Energy, Inspection, Smart home/consumer.
Technology advantage
Ego-centric first-person data strategy (since 2025) for low-cost high-quality training data; causal/implicit world models; DataGrid full-stack AI infra with "data-model-deploy-feedback" loop; 15+ top academic outputs (TPAMI, ICLR, AAAI, IROS); 100+ patents/software copyrights; NVIDIA Inception member; collaborations with HKU, Tsinghua, CMU, EPFL, Zhejiang University.
How they differentiate
Focuses on the intelligence layer (AtomBrain + causal world models + Ego-native first-person data) rather than hardware, aiming for "one brain, many bodies" transfer across robot forms; lower-cost first-person data collection vs. third-person demo or robot-collected data.
Main competitors
Galbot (银河通用), Unitree (宇树科技), AgiBot (智元机器人), Lingchu Intelligent (灵初智能), Xinghai (星海图), LimX Dynamics (逐际动力).
Key partnerships
CRRC High-Tech (embodied intelligence for infrastructure), NVIDIA Inception program, academic collaborations with HKU, Tsinghua, CMU, EPFL, Zhejiang University, MIIT/TC1 and AIIA member, national spec work on crowdsourced embodied-intelligence data collection.
Notable customers
Deployed/verified across 30+ Chinese cities and 100+ scenarios (manufacturing, logistics, warehousing, commercial services), earlier charging-robot customers incl. Sinopec (中石化), China Tower (中国铁塔), Wanda Group (万达集团), Hengyuan Energy (恒源能源).
Major milestones
2023 founded, Oct 2024 launched FORCE-01 auto-charging robot, Mar 2025 Pre-A round + brand upgrade to ELU.AI group (INFIFORCE/LIGHTFORCE/UNIFORCE), Jan 2026 CEO Isabella Bai keynote at CES 2026, Aug 2026 closed ~RMB 1B Series A/A+ (~$150M) led by Dunhong Asset, plans to launch world's first embodied model built on high-quality Ego data.
Growth metrics
Deployed/verified across 30+ Chinese cities and 100+ scenarios; 100+ patents/software copyrights; 100+ awards; 15+ top academic outputs; R&D team ~75% masters/PhD.
Market positioning
Positioned as an "embodied brain" / world-model company competing at the model-and-data layer of China's embodied-AI race, differentiating from hardware-first humanoid makers; part of China's 2026 embodied-AI funding boom.
Geographic focus
China (Hangzhou HQ, Shenzhen research institute, Beijing lab); expanding internationally (CES 2026 presence).
Patents and IP
100+ patents/software copyrights (35+ invention/utility patents granted, 20+ software copyrights, 30+ patents pending, 100+ planned).
