CoronaMind (Beijing Corona Robotics Co., Ltd.), a world model company for embodied intelligence founded in March 2026, has completed two consecutive seed funding rounds, raising a total of hundreds of millions of RMB jointly invested by Peak Ventures, Future Chart, Baidu Ventures, Ventech China, WuYueFeng Capital, and Wanlin International, with a new round of financing also closing simultaneously. The funds are used for R&D of the self-developed world model LaMPA, reinforcement learning system construction, and data closed-loop and product delivery improvements. The founding team, all with autonomous driving backgrounds from Tsinghua University, includes Dr. Zhongyang Xiao, who led delivery of a world model deployed in over 700,000 NIO vehicles; Dr. Yuanxin Zhong, a "Huawei Genius Youth" who led design of Huawei's new-generation intelligent driving world model base model; Dr. Yunlong Wang, from NIO's Super Spark team, who worked at Agibot Robotics on large model and real-robot reinforcement learning algorithms; and Dr. Yaqi Dai, formerly a partner at WuYueFeng Capital. The industry is increasingly recognizing that world models are an important technical direction for embodied intelligence, with much research referencing the JEPA theory proposed by Yann LeCun.
