Recently, 36Kr learned that Shanghai Aventurier Technology Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Aventurier") has recently completed an angel round of financing worth US$10 million. This round of investment was led by Jinqiu Fund, with Creation Partners Capital (CCV) co-investing, and Mushi Capital serving as the company's exclusive financial advisor. Financing funds will be mainly used for cutting-edge technology research and product development of cleaning robots, as well as global market layout.
Aventurier was established in September 2022. The company's main business is to use artificial intelligence and robotics technology to liberate humans from repetitive cleaning operations and greatly improve the efficiency and intelligence of cleaning operations.
The traditional cleaning service industry is a labor-intensive industry with large market demand and social rigid demand. Under the global aging trend, the labor shortage dilemma in the cleaning industry has become increasingly obvious, and the demand for cleaning in public scenes in the post-epidemic era has increased significantly. Cleaning robots are getting a lot of attention.
Different from household service robots, commercial service robots can be widely used in many indoor and outdoor scenes such as office buildings, hotels, shopping malls, hospitals, etc., and can be divided into three-dimensional cleaning robots and flat cleaning robots. In 2012, China's cleaning robot industry began to rise, and the application scenarios and available functions of commercial cleaning robots continued to expand. According to the predictions of EO Think Tank and Tianfeng Securities, China's commercial cleaning robot market size will reach 74.91 billion yuan in 2026, and the global The market space can reach trillions of scale.
Limited by cleaning technology and AI technology, the development of traditional cleaning robots in the past can be roughly divided into two stages. The 1.0 era emphasizes mobile technology and simple scene matching based on IF-ELSE logic cannot fully meet the cleaning needs in complex commercial scenarios. The 2.0 era emphasizes clean technology, but the level of intelligence is low and requires manual operation and maintenance assistance such as charging, water replenishment, and mode switching.
Based on a multi-modal large language model, a new generation of cleaning mechanism, and open software and hardware platform technology, Aventurier launches the third generation of commercial cleaning robot products to improve the intelligence level of the robot and enable it to be applied to various complex commercial scenarios, reducing Manual intervention in the cleaning process reduces labor costs.
In the future, the company will successively launch three commercial cleaning robot products, focusing on general (catering, industry, etc.) and multi-story (hotels, office buildings, etc.) floor cleaning. Compared with similar products, Aventurier reduces algorithm development costs and improves the robot's movement efficiency through mobile robot technology based on large models. Based on this, the product also combines the company's cleaning technology patents with stronger deep cleaning capabilities, longer battery life and more intelligent remote operation and maintenance capabilities.
Regarding the supply and assembly of product parts, Aventurier told 36Kr that the company has reached cooperation with factories with rich production experience in the industry, and the supply chain resources are comparable to those of industry leaders.
Aventurier's team has extensive practical experience in the field of commercial cleaning robots. Founder and CEO Liu Rongming once led the marketization process of the first and second generation cleaning robot companies in the industry. COO Nie Xin once led the organization construction and operation management from 0-1 of the first cleaning machine company in the industry, helping and witnessing it becoming the first robot unicorn in the industry. The company's CTO Yan Ruijun has led the technology implementation of full-stack mass-produced products from household cleaning products to commercial cleaning products. He has more than 100 invention patents and has more than 12 years of R&D implementation in the fields of navigation, path planning, and human-computer interaction. experience.
