XILECT (曦选创智), a Chinese robotics chip startup, has raised RMB 500 million in an angel round, TechNode reported. The company plans to use the money to develop its first chip and software, expand its engineering team and test the platform with robot manufacturers.

The proposed system-on-chip combines multimodal perception, decision-making and motion control on the robot. Its software toolchain is intended to help manufacturers run existing AI models on the platform.

The company plans to offer partners a development and testing platform in 2027 and release its first chip in 2028. These are planned milestones rather than completed deliveries.
