Metamorphic Quadruped Robot Maker Daran Lands RMB 5 Mln Angel Funding

PE Daily, 4/27/18

Tianjin-based robot maker Daran Technology recently announced that it has won RMB 5 mln in angel funding led by Daocin Capital with participation from Beijing-based robot developer Zhinengjia Technology. Daran Technology previously won RMB 7-digit seed funding from CAS Star in 2016.

Daran's "metamorphic" mobile robot can autonomously rearrange itself to suit changes in the environment and task needs. The robot can dynamically change its waist to adjust the relative positioning of its four legs in order to suit motion through narrow bends or ground conditions. Inspired by the spinal structures of reptiles in the natural world, Daran built its robot to arch and bend its back to handle uneven terrain and slopes. The robot has broad potential applications for space exploration, geological prospecting, and disaster rescue.
