Fund-focused chip and software platforms
According to Givea Robot, this round of financing is aimed at strengthening the full-power product layout of chipset chipsets, building a full-chain software platform that integrates data collection, model training, simulation verification, and rational deployment to meet the full-scenario needs of robots from mature models to general-purpose human development using a software-intensive, intelligent infrastructure.
Financing reports simultaneously reveal the operational data of the guinea pig robot.
In the first half of 2026, the company's revenue grew several times from the same period last year, with the cumulative shipment of chips of the Zhengzhou series exceeding 8 million pieces, and the smart business officially entered the mass production stage of shipment.
The Suzuki S600 is a key engine for this growth.

From the horizon, the monkeys are selling monkeys
The company was founded in January 2024 as an independent spin-off from the robotics division of Horizon, the autonomous-driving chip giant. Its legal representative is Yue Kai, founder of Horizon, and its CEO Wang Yi, who has long been responsible for AIoT and robot operations.
He's the CEO of a stupid robot.
Unlike most companies focused on the development of robots themselves, pumpkin robots have established a strategic pathway from the beginning to not make pumpkins. CEO Wang Yi has made it clear that pumpkin does nothing more than not make pumpkins. The company is positioned as a general-purpose provider of robot software hardware, the core business revolves around pumpkin smart computing chips and RDK robot developer suites, covering humanoid robots, four-legged robot dogs, service companion robots, object flow AMR, scanning robots, lawn mower robots, and many other scenarios.
Behind the continuing investment of capital, the ecological barriers that guinea pig robots are building are seen as their core value. Currently, the company has more than 100,000 global developers, covering more than 20 countries and regions; its focused accelerated startup acceleration program has served more than 500 small and medium-sized innovation teams, helping more than 200 teams to land products.
