- Sharebot has officially expanded overseas, launching its initial operations in 13 countries including the US, Germany, and France.
- Having closed a seed funding round led by GL Ventures in January, the platform is accelerating the global rollout of its Robot as a Service (RaaS) rental model.
Sharebot, billed as the world's first robot rental platform, has announced its entry into international markets. The rollout of its initial rental operations across 13 countries marks a significant step in the company's global expansion strategy.
The overseas expansion covers key regions including Europe, North America, the Asia-Pacific, and the Middle East, with initial launches in Germany, France, the US, and the UAE, according to a company announcement on Friday.
Co-founded by Agibot late last year, Sharebot focuses on the Robot as a Service (RaaS) model, aiming to make renting a robot as convenient as borrowing a shared power bank.
The company highlighted the strong economic incentives of its international push, noting that service unit prices in overseas markets can generally reach more than six times those in China.
Additionally, the platform has secured deep strategic partnerships with several regional service providers abroad, including RobotX and Mangobot.
Sharebot completed a seed funding round led by GL Ventures in January, with participation from prominent institutions such as Fosun Capital and Zhangjiang Group.
In the domestic market, the platform has already partnered with major brands like Haidilao and Mixue Ice Cream & Tea, deploying robots widely in high-frequency scenarios such as store foot-traffic generation and grand opening operations.
The company outlined its so-called "1234 Strategic Plan" last year, targeting a 2026 ecosystem comprising over 10 hardware manufacturers, 200 premium rental service providers, 3,000 content creators, and 400,000 rental customers.
