Embodied AI Startup Nuwa Robotics Raises RMB 50 Million Angel Round Led by Blue Lake Capital

Nuwa Robotics, an embodied intelligence startup, has completed an RMB 50 million (about $7 million) angel financing round led by Blue Lake Capital, with participation from Butong Capital and Gongqingcheng Puyi Investment, according to 36Kr. The company said it closed a seed round led by Plug and Play China Fund about two months earlier. Founded in February 2026, Nuwa is developing what it calls an “Embodied Mobility Intelligence” approach and a self-developed “World Travelers Model (WTM)” aimed at enabling robots to move, navigate and interact autonomously in complex human environments. The company said the model is designed to work across multiple mobile robot platforms, including quadruped robots, AGVs and unmanned delivery vehicles. Nuwa also disclosed performance claims for its self-developed high-fidelity physics simulation engine SimWeaver, saying it is three times faster than NVIDIA Isaac Sim, reduces sim-to-real transfer error by 20%, and achieved a 91% zero-shot success rate on multiple deformable-object manipulation tasks.
