The Pre-A round was led by Sequoia China, with Dongfang Fuhai participating; the Pre-A+ round was co-led by Xinneng Venture Capital and Youshan Capital, with Qingkong Jinxin participating. Previously, the company had already completed four rounds of financing in 2025, with investors including Zhuoyuan Asia, Tongchuang Weiye, Guohai Innovation Capital, and Dinghui Baifu among others. Thus, Zhongke Fifth Epoch has rapidly completed six rounds of financing in just one year. According to Tianyancha, Zhongke Fifth Epoch Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (Five Ages) was established in September 2024 and is an embodied intelligence company that integrates industrialization capabilities and model research and development capabilities. Through globally leading ultra-few-shot end-to-end embodied large models (FAM series) and multimodal robot large models (VLTA) that integrate tactile feedback, it delivers embodied brains and embodied robots with generalization capabilities to customers. The company gathers the strengths of the core teams from Professor Sun Fuchun's robotics laboratory at Tsinghua University and the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and is committed to developing globally leading embodied physical bases and multimodal end-to-end large models to create products such as general intelligent embodied robots. Its founder and CEO, Dr. Liu Nianfeng, graduated with a bachelor's degree from the University of Science and Technology of China and later obtained a doctorate from the Institute of Automation, Chinese Academy of Sciences, under the supervision of academician Tan Tieniu, a former director of the Institute of Automation and current Party Secretary of Nanjing University. He has long been engaged in artificial intelligence and robotics product research and development, as well as the commercialization of core technologies, possessing rich experience in industrialization and commercialization. Co-founder and chief scientist Professor Sun Fuchun is a tenured professor in the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Tsinghua University, director of the Intelligent Robotics Center at the AI Research Institute, doctoral supervisor, assistant to the dean of the university's research institute, and a member of the national 863 program expert group. He mainly conducts research on robotic active perception and dexterous manipulation, embodied intelligence, and cross-modal learning, leading his team to win championships in international top robotic operation competitions multiple times. The intelligent 3C assembly and medical robot technology has won gold and silver awards at the Geneva International Exhibition of Inventions. Just a few months after its establishment, Zhongke Fifth Epoch independently developed the FAM series ultra-few-shot embodied operation large model. Specifically, unlike the traditional VLA (Vision-Language-Action) architecture, the FAM model incorporates a unique "heatmap alignment" technology, achieving lossless transmission and efficient utilization of spatial information. Recently, Zhongke Fifth Epoch released the embodied world model BridgeV2W, which can directly "translate" the robot's action commands into visuals of what might be seen in the future, achieving high-precision, visual simulation of action results. The world model is currently one of the most cutting-edge technological routes. At present, the company has self-developed its first wheeled embodied robot—equipped with the FAM series model—which has wide applicability and reliable operational performance in various scenarios such as industrial, special operations, and commercial, and has begun deep cooperation with large central enterprise clients Last September, the company successfully secured the Yushu order amidst fierce competition from its peers, becoming the 001 brain supplier for the latter. Subsequently, it completed the delivery of two scenarios in just over a month. Thereafter, Zhong Ke Fifth Epoch not only provided Yushu with the "embodied operational brain" as the 001 supplier but also gradually collaborated with Midea, Leapmotor, and leading central enterprise clients. It is reported that Zhong Ke Fifth Epoch deeply empowers ecological partners, including Yushu Technology, to jointly expand the application of robotics in power scenarios. By deeply integrating its self-developed "embodied brain" with Yushu's high-performance G1 humanoid robot platform, they jointly built an integrated industry solution of "reliable hardware support + core software drive." ### Related Stocks - [Zhong Ke San Huan Co., Ltd.
