RobCo Raises $100M Series C for AI Robotics

RobCo, a Munich-founded physical AI-driven robotics company, has successfully raised $100 million in Series C funding. The round was co-led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and Exor===Lingotto Innovation, an investment management company owned by Exor, with additional participation from Sequoia Capital, Greenfield Partners, Kindred Capital, Leitmotif, and Dan Friedkin. This significant capital injection will be used to advance RobCo's 'Physical AI' roadmap, expand its enterprise deployments, and deepen its presence in the U.S. market. RobCo, founded in 2020, develops AI-enabled robotic systems for industrial use cases, focusing on autonomy and adaptability in real production environments. The company's platform combines perception, motion planning, and self-learning methods, allowing robots to acquire task-specific skills through demonstration rather than manual programming. RobCo's expansion into the United States in 2025, with offices in San Francisco and Austin, targets the growing demand for automation among manufacturers facing labor constraints and reshoring initiatives. Its robots are currently deployed with customers such as BMW, DynaEnergetics, Fabricated Extrusion Company, Deutsche Telekom===T-Systems, and Rosenberger, delivered through a robotics-as-a-service model.
