Lingyan Technology: two rounds for a bionic robot face
From the Robots digest for Oct 25, 2026
What happened: Hangzhou Lingyan Technology has closed two funding rounds worth tens of millions of yuan (roughly a few million to over ten million US dollars) for FaceSoul Agent, its bionic dexterous robot face, with the coverage's headline counting two rounds and five backers (Shattered), published October 25, 2026.
What's genuinely new: First appearance of a robot-expressiveness hardware niche in the funding tally: a "bionic dexterous face" as the product raising, rather than an arm, hand, or whole humanoid. No per-round amounts, named backers, or valuation were given.
Watch: named backers and a valuation, and whether FaceSoul face hardware ships in a named consumer or service robot rather than staying a component story.
