What happened
RobotPlusPlus, a robotics startup based in China, has closed a series C funding round, according to Tech in Asia.
The company said its climbing robots are deployed in more than 100 shipyards worldwide.
Why it matters
The disclosed deployment footprint suggests climbing robots have moved beyond trials into routine use at shipyard scale, at least by the company's own account.
A series C typically signals a company is scaling commercial operations rather than still proving the technology, though the size and terms of this round were not disclosed.
