Australian construction robotics company August Robotics has secured $30 million in Series B funding to accelerate deployment of its autonomous robotics platform for large-scale infrastructure and AI data center construction projects. The round was led by Greek venture capital firm Big Pi Ventures, with participation from existing investors Blackbird, Skip Capital, Tanarra, Future Family Office, and new investor GS Futures. Founded by Alex Wyatt in 2017, August Robotics develops autonomous robotic systems capable of handling precision drilling, floor marking, fleet coordination, navigation, and real-time construction execution across complex industrial environments. The company’s robotics platform is increasingly being deployed across hyperscale AI data center projects in the United States and Europe. One of the company’s flagship systems is its autonomous downward-drilling robot developed in partnership with Stanley Black & Decker’s DEWALT brand. The robots are designed to automate labor-intensive construction workflows while improving speed, accuracy, and safety on prefabricated infrastructure sites. According to the company, the technology is already compressing AI data center construction timelines by several months. August Robotics stated that the fresh capital will support production scale-up, AI development, new robotics products, and global expansion initiatives. The company is also establishing an Athens hub focused on customer support, deployment operations, robotics maintenance, and field engineering across Europe and the Middle East. Big Pi Ventures partner Panos Metsis described the company as a “globally category-leading business” addressing major infrastructure bottlenecks through robotics and AI-powered physical automation. Investors are increasingly viewing construction robotics as a critical layer supporting the rapid expansion of global AI infrastructure and hyperscale data center ecosystems.
