On October 29, 2026, Juqiao Industry announced the completion of a 100-million-yuan Series A financing round. According to a November 1 report by Zhidongxi, this round was led by Ant Group, with Lingyi Venture Capital, Weihai Gangrong, and Qingdao Hexin participating as follow-on investors, and the funds will be used for the large-scale mass production and delivery of fabric electronic skin. The report stated that Juqiao Industry's tactile gloves are each equipped with hundreds of sensing points per hand, with a minimum point spacing of 2mm and a minimum trigger force of 0.01N, and have achieved delivery at a scale of nearly 10,000 units, serving more than 400 customers, including more than 200 embodied intelligence customers; its own production line in Weihai has a production yield rate exceeding 95% and can rapidly produce samples within one day. A November 2 report by 36Kr·AI likewise mentioned that Ant Group led the round and stated that this is Ant's second move in the tactile sensing track. Currently, there is no public information on further progress following the financing.

Juqiao Industrial completes hundred-million-yuan Series A funding, led by Ant Group, for robotic fabric electronic skin
Shandong-based flexible fabric tactile sensing company Juqiao Industrial has completed a hundred-million-yuan Series A funding round, led by Ant Group. This is Ant's second investment in the tactile sensing track. Juqiao Industrial weaves functional fibers into sensing networks. In May 2025, it disclosed that its roll-to-roll production line has an annual capacity of 200,000 units and a yield rate of 95%. In September, its 1,000th set of humanoid robot fabric electronic skin rolled off the line. Its customers include Unitree, Songyan Power, Zeroth, and others. The fabric approach falls short of vision-based tactile solutions in single-point precision, but is better suited for large-area coverage scenarios such as the torso, soles of the feet, and robotic arms.

Embodied intelligence funding cools, Ant Group leads Juqiao Industrial's hundred-million-yuan Series A to bet on robotic electronic skin
Shandong-based flexible fabric tactile sensing company Juqiao Industrial has completed a hundred-million-yuan Series A funding round led by Ant Group, marking Ant's second move in the tactile sensing track within two months. In October 2026, the embodied intelligence track saw 33 funding deals totaling 10.105 billion yuan, a marked cooling from September's 60 deals and 11.028 billion yuan; upstream components such as dexterous hands, tactile sensors, and electronic skin became one of the few segments to buck the trend and attract capital. In September 2025, Juqiao Industrial rolled off its 1,000th set of fabric electronic skin for humanoid robots, with customers including Unitree, Songyan Power, and Lingcifang.
