Beijing-based Spirit AI just secured $280M to scale embodied AI, reaching a $1.5B valuation just 2 years after founding. Their Moz1 humanoid robots are already deployed on CATL battery production lines, handling complex tasks like flexible wire harness assembly. This marks the world's first large-scale industrial deployment of embodied AI robots. The company's "dirty data" approach prioritizes real-world complexity over curated datasets, targeting 1M+ hours of training data by 2026. This signals embodied AI's transition from research labs to manufacturing floors. 🤖
