Another European robotics company steals the show.
RobCo, a Munich-based robotics company, just raised $100 million in Series C funding co-led by Lightspeed and Lingotto Innovation (an Exor investment company), with participation from Sequoia Capital, Greenfield Partners, Kindred Capital VC, Leitmotif, and The Friedkin Group.
The funding will advance RobCo's physical AI roadmap, expand enterprise deployments, and deepen the company's presence in the U.S. market. RobCo expanded into the United States in 2025 and now operates in San Francisco and Austin. 🇺🇸
Founded in 2020, RobCo enables increasingly autonomous robot operations inside real production environments through Physical AI. By combining perception, motion planning, and self-learning methods, the platform reduces friction between today's processes and end-to-end automation. Teams can focus less on setting up and maintaining systems and more on their core business.
What makes RobCo different is the full-stack approach. The company has been vertically integrated from day one, developing hardware and software as a single platform.
Their robots can acquire task-specific skills through demonstration and self-learning rather than manual programming. This enables faster deployment, rapid iteration, and easier adaptation to complex or variable processes.
I can confirm that because I had a chance to visit their HQ couple of times, and it was always an awesome experience in the heart of Munich!
RobCo's robots are deployed across a range of industrial environments. The U.S. has become both a strategic priority and a major growth market.
