RobCo, a Munich-born industrial robotics and physical AI company, has raised $100 million in a Series C funding round to accelerate global deployments of its autonomous manufacturing robots and deepen its presence in the United States a key priority market where the firm already operates from hubs like San Francisco and Austin. The investment underscores growing demand for flexible, AI-powered robotic systems that can adapt to real-world factory environments, reduce manual programming, and drive productivity gains as manufacturers confront labor shortages and reshoring trends. The Series C round was co-led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and Lingotto Innovation (Exor-backed), with strong participation from Sequoia Capital, Greenfield Partners, Kindred Capital, Leitmotif, and The Friedkin Group - combining deep software-centric investors with strategic backers experienced in industrial ecosystems. RobCo plans to use the fresh capital to scale U.S. enterprise sales, advance its vertically integrated robotics platform that blends hardware, perception and motion AI, and expand deployment across complex manufacturing tasks such as machine tending, palletizing, dispensing and welding.
