Thailand-based Amity Robotics, a physical AI and robotics company building AI-powered experiences for the physical world, has closed a $7 million seed round combining equity and debt financing.
In a statement on Wednesday, Amityy Robotics said the round featured equity portion led by East Ventures with participation from 500 Global, and the debt portion led by AlteriQ Global.
Amity Robotics assembles its own solutions and develops a proprietary Robotic Operating System powering its voice conversations and movements. The company will soon launch ARC Move, its first mobile robot, which can approach, help, and guide customers around stores and large properties.
Besides, the company’s key product is ARC Base, a static physical AI kiosk that acts as an AI concierge for the properties it serves. ARC Base is live across more than 30 properties in Singapore, the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Hong Kong, Thailand, Malaysia, and Indonesia, with the company’s first European customer deployment coming in July. Clients include mall operators Pavilion KL, Siam Piwat, The Mall Group, and Pacific Place Jakarta, as well as hotels operated by IHG, Accor, and Shangri-La.
Korawad Chearavanont, Chairman of Amity Robotics, said the company believes a world-class physical AI company can be built from Thailand and Southeast Asia. The funding round is a strong endorsement of that ambition and of a future where AI steps into the physical world to serve people directly.
Willson Cuaca, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at East Ventures, said Amity Robotics has already proven exceptional execution capabilities, capturing immediate commercial viability through ARC Base deployments across major hotel brands and premier malls in seven markets.
Lionel Chin, COO of Amity Robotics, said the momentum behind ARC Base shows that physical AI is ready for real commercial deployment, not just pilots, and that the funding will allow the company to deepen integrations, scale operations, and bring ARC Move to market.
Amity Robotics is a sister company to AI group Amity, which recently closed a $100 million Series D, affiliated through a common major shareholder, Amity Corporation, while operating as separate, independent businesses.
