Xinhua News recently reported that DaoAI (WeLinkirt) has completed its Series B financing. While the world-model race is crowded with players chasing general-purpose technology and frontier concepts, DaoAI has taken a distinctly local, industry-first path — turning spatial intelligence and 3D-vision world models into standardized solutions that drop straight onto the factory floor.

The round was led by the Chongqing Industrial Parent Fund with participation from several local government funds. Proceeds will fund continued development of the DaoAI World model and the large-scale deployment of AI and robot-vision capabilities across manufacturing.
A world model that truly understands physical space
The value of a world model lies in letting AI perceive and reason about real physical space. Where many overseas players chase general-purpose AI at the frontier, DaoAI anchors on the concrete needs of the real economy — distilling spatial intelligence and 3D-vision world-model technology into standardized, reusable factory products.
The same foundation powers high-precision industrial inspection and extends into robot vision and intelligent monitoring, forming a 'one world model, multiple product lines' structure.
Verifiable, in-production results
- 99%+ inspection accuracy, with line deployment from a single good sample in about 30 minutes
- 42 invention patents and 43 software copyrights to date
- Partnerships with Siemens and NVIDIA
- Plans for an AI and robot-vision research base in Jiangjin, Chongqing
No concept-chasing — physical AI built to be usable on the floor and accountable on the books.
As Xinhua reports, DaoAI's path answers a key question: a world model need not stay in the realm of general narratives — it can take root in real settings like air-conditioner lines, semiconductor inspection and PCB quality control, delivering a clear cost-down, efficiency-up loop.
