The German industrial robotics vendor RobCo has raised $100 million in backing, saying the funds will help to advance its Physical AI roadmap, expand enterprise deployments, and deepen the company’s presence in the U.S. market.

The firm first expanded into the United States in 2025 and now operates in San Francisco and Austin. RobCo says the U.S. has become a major growth market as manufacturers accelerate automation efforts in response to labor constraints, reshoring initiatives, and rising operational complexity.

The “series C” venture capital round was co-led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and Lingotto Innovation, alongside Sequoia Capital, Greenfield Partners, Kindred Capital, Leitmotif, and The Friedkin Group.

Founded in 2020 in Munich, RobCo says it enables increasingly autonomous robot operations inside real production environments including manufacturing and logistics. By combining perception, motion planning, and self-learning methods, RobCo’s platform is designed to reduce friction between today’s processes and end-to-end automation. According to the company, its technology integrates hardware and software as a single full-stack platform. That means its robots can acquire task-specific skills through demonstration and self-learning rather than manual programming, enabling faster deployment, rapid iteration, and easier adaptation to complex or variable processes.

“With $100 million of additional funding, we will become the dominant AI robotics company for manufacturing in the U.S. and Europe” said Roman Hölzl, CEO and Founder of RobCo. “This will allow us to execute on our purpose of automating the ordinary, so humans can do the extraordinary.”
