Towards General-Purpose Embodied AI: ATOMIX Completes Mega Merger with Dexmal

New Strategic Financing Round Secured, with Leading Foundation Model Players All On Board

Today, we are officially sharing two pieces of good news: ATOMIX has completed its merger with Dexmal, and has also closed a new round of strategic financing.

With this round, ATOMIX’s circle of partners has grown even wider.

Zhipu AI, StepFun, SenseTime — together with Alibaba, who has been on board with us from the beginning — some of the most influential players in the foundation model space have all chosen to join us at this moment. Industry partners including Huaqin and SAIC Hengxu, along with institutions such as Jinpu Capital, Oriza Puhua, Xingzheng Capital, Suzhou Fund, CMB International, Houxue Fund, Zhengqi Nengke, and Yunheng Industrial are also participating in this round, with existing shareholders continuing to follow on.

In the second half of embodied AI, models and scenarios must be deeply united. This merger marks the first time in the embodied AI arena that models and scenarios have truly grown together.

“Models and scenarios have never existed in isolation. This merger brings them together in a two‑way embrace. The scaling of embodied foundation models must move from manual collection to real‑world industrial scenarios, and ATOMIX’s massive volume of authentic data is precisely the fuel that gets the flywheel turning. By closing this loop, Dexmal has already secured its ticket to large‑scale deployment of embodied AI. Our next goal is to build a world‑leading general‑purpose embodied foundation model.”

—— Wenbin Tang, Founder & CEO of Dexmal

ATOMIX Today: The Largest Real-World Deployment Network in the Embodied AI Arena

ATOMIX is an AI-native flexible warehousing automation solutions provider, built around the vision of “Unlimited Warehouse Automation” , with a flexible warehousing technology system powered by the Hetu AI software platform at its core. As the “scenario” pillar of this merger, ATOMIX has established the largest, most data-rich, and most diverse deployment network in the embodied AI space, with headquarters in Singapore and operations spanning the globe.

Market Leadership: Its core product, the 4-way pallet shuttle, ranks No. 2 in global sales volume and No. 1 in mega-scale projects with over 50 shuttles per system. While the industry is still grappling with “how to keep 50 pallet shuttles from gridlock,” ATOMIX has already delivered multiple 80+ unit 4-way shuttle cluster projects worldwide, making it the solution provider with the most ultra-large-scale 4-way shuttle cluster projects globally.

Technology Strength: ATOMIX has built a “1+4+X” full-stack proprietary technology architecture — “1” is the Hetu AI software platform, featuring Multi-Agent Path Finding (MAPF) algorithms and a decentralized deadlock avoidance mechanism, enabling unified orchestration and collaborative operations across multi-type equipment; “4” represents the four in-house robot families (4-Way Pallet Shuttle, Pallet AMR, Bin AMR, and Bin Robot); “X” is the open ecosystem compatible with third-party heterogeneous equipment, including CTUs, robotic arms, and embodied AI devices. Based on this architecture, ATOMIX has built three modular subsystems — Matrix8S (Storage Mix), Matrix8H (Handling Mix), and Matrix8P (Picking Mix) — covering the entire “storage-handling-picking” workflow. The Hetu system delivers distributed, millisecond-level, predictive, and self-healing scheduling capabilities, with single-task allocation under 5ms and path planning under 20ms, reducing empty travel by 15-20% and improving overall scheduling efficiency by approximately 25%.

Global Footprint: ATOMIX’s solutions have been deployed in more than 20 countries and regions worldwide, with over 500 logistics automation projects delivered, serving nearly 100 global brands including Uniqlo, Coca-Cola, Yum China, Mixue Bingcheng, and Lenovo. From fast-fashion retail to food cold chain, from new energy to automotive manufacturing, ATOMIX has validated the universal value of flexible automation solutions across diverse industrial scenarios worldwide. In November 2025, ATOMIX’s Chongqing Smart Factory officially commenced production — spanning 20,000 square meters and integrating R&D, manufacturing, testing & validation, and demonstration & training — with an annual output value of RMB 1 billion yuan, supporting approximately RMB 3 billion yuan in overall business scale. The factory strictly adheres to ISO9001 and CE international certification standards, supporting business expansion across Asia-Pacific, Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East.

Over 600,000 items shipped daily, serving nearly 100 global brands across more than 20 countries — ATOMIX is the largest and most authentic logistics picking data source in the embodied AI landscape. Following the merger, this fuel will feed directly into the flywheel.

Dexmal Today: A Complete Model & Infrastructure Stack

Following the merger, Dexmal now has a complete full-stack layout spanning models, infrastructure, hardware, and application scenarios:

• DM0 · The world’s first embodied-native foundation modelRanked #1 globally in real-robot evaluation. Trained on a hybrid dataset combining robotic multi-perception, autonomous driving, and internet data, it achieves sub-millimeteroperation precision.

• Dexbotic · The PyTorch of the embodied AI era
  The only general-purpose embodied open-source framework in the region, and the second globally. It serves dozens of top academic institutions including Tsinghua, Peking University, and Princeton, as well as leading technology companies, reaching over a thousand developers.

• RoboChallenge · The world’s largest real-robot evaluation platform for embodied AI
  Co-launched with Hugging Face, it has cumulatively supported over 80,000 real-robot testsworldwide and powered top-tier competitions such as CVPR and ICRA.

Recent & Upcoming Releases: Picking as the Engine for Exponential Growth

• On June 15, Dexmal officially unveiled Ferrata — the world’s first three-level sorting system for warehousing and logistics. Powered by the DM0 foundation model as its core brain, it orchestrates heterogeneous robots across multiple machine types in collaborative operations, kicking the data flywheel into high-frequency positive cycles.
• This July, the next-generation foundation model 5, Dexmal’s first universal robot, and a brand-new application infrastructure will also make their global debut.

The Picking Moment of Embodied AI

Looking back at the previous wave of foundation models, the recognized watershed was coding — whoever cracked that atomic task first gained the key to unlocking general upper-level capabilities.

We believe that in the embodied AI era, this atomic task belongs to picking.

ATOMIX ships over 600,000 items daily, serving nearly 100 brands across more than 20 countries — making it the largest and most authentic logistics-picking data source in the embodied AI space. After the merger, this fuel will feed directly into the flywheel.

Just as coding did for foundation models, picking — with its large-scale real-world data, verifiable success signals, and cross-task transferability — will become the engine for embodied AI’s explosion, igniting exponential growth in the industry.

Whoever first gets the data flywheel spinning on picking will secure their ticket to the second half of embodied AI.

From Here to Everywhere

The merger is only the beginning.

We believe that general-purpose embodied AI is not a distant prophecy — it is walking towards us out of roaring factories and around-the-clock warehouses.

We will accelerate the global expansion of our general-purpose embodied foundation model, keep deepening our logistics-scenario data flywheel, and inject the most advanced algorithms into the most real-world physical settings. We will push robots into warehouses, factories, hospitals, commerce, homes, and even places we can’t yet imagine today —

making them truly intelligent, useful, and dependable.
