Artificial Intelligence
Finster AI announced a Series B round on 10 August 2026 that added strategic investors UBS Investment Bank and FactSet, both of which will help extend the firm’s AI‑native intelligence and agent orchestration platform across research, advisory and client‑service workflows in regulated financial institutions; the round’s monetary size was not disclosed, but the participation of two core industry players signals strong validation for the startup’s secure data pipelines and workflow automation capabilities [1].
Robotics
Shutu Technology raised an angel‑plus round of “tens of millions of yuan” from Shenzhen Hi‑Tech Investment and Linge Venture Capital, with the funding earmarked to advance its multimodal video data extraction pipeline for embodied‑intelligence models and to commercialise robots capable of operating in complex, non‑standard environments, reinforcing its dual focus on data provision and AI‑enhanced robot deployment [2].
Y Combinator’s 2026 batch featured a wide array of manufacturing and robotics startups, including Shiraz, which trains robots from a single human demonstration; Hemlock, which adds force sensing via a wrist‑worn EMG band; Moving Atoms, building world‑model AI from internet‑scale video; Enact, generating real‑world data loops for robot reliability; and several others, illustrating the accelerator’s continued role in seeding early‑stage physical‑AI ventures [3].
