## About

Based in China and founded in 2025, Shanghai Motion Intelligence Technology Co., Ltd., trading under the name Motion Brain, develops embodied artificial intelligence models focused on robotic cognition and action generation. The company was founded by Fudan University alumni including entrepreneur Mu Zelin, Fudan University professor Chen Tao, and former Intel China Research Institute chief scientist Zhang Yimin. Its technical work originated in earlier research on motion generation models, including the release of MotionGPT.

In August 2026, Motion Brain raised approximately CNY 500 million in Pre-series A+ funding from new investors Orient Securities, Shaanxi Provincial High-Tech Industry Investment, Anyu Fund, Tianmeng Investment and Jianyuan Tianhua Investment Management (Beijing) and returning investors Chuanghehui Capital, Shanghai Xuhui Capital Investment and Qlacier Capital, and another unspecified investor.

The company offers MotionGPT, a unified generative model for human motion synthesis and control, and MotionChain, a multimodal conversational motion controller that generates continuous human motion with contextual memory. These technologies enable developers and robotics platforms to handle motion generation tasks with multi-round interaction and embodied intelligence.

The company generates revenue from enterprise licensing and deployment of embodied AI models and related robotic intelligence solutions.

Following the Pre-series A+ funding, Motion Brain will continue to focus on R&D around robot native large models, edge deployment, cross-body adaptation and domestic computing power ecosystem, and promote related technologies from single project verification to large-scale industrial application.
