GigaAI was founded in China in 2025 and received Series-A1 funding in the three-digit millions of yuan range in November 2025, led by Huawei Habo Investment and Huakong Fund. The company is developing a robot for everyday household tasks in collaboration with state research institutions such as the Hubei Humanoid Robot Innovation Centre.
The SeeLight S1 is a dual-armed, wheeled robot designed for typical household situations: cutting vegetables, frying eggs, hanging laundry, making beds. The system relies on Embodied AI, meaning it processes perception and decisions directly in the physical body without step-by-step instructions. Integrated sensors are designed to detect collisions with children or pets and stop movement immediately. A successor, the SeeLight S2, is announced for 2026.
GigaAI exemplifies the growing class of Chinese household robot startups that rely on Embodied AI and are financed by major tech corporations. A pilot with 100 units in employee housing in Wuhan launched in spring 2026; commercial market entry is planned for mid-2027 at approximately 15,000 US dollars.
