RobCo, a Munich-based robotics company specializing in Physical AI, has successfully raised $100 million in a Series C funding round to advance its AI-driven robotics roadmap, scale enterprise deployments, and strengthen its presence in the U.S. market.
The funding round was co-led by Lightspeed Venture Partners and Lingotto Innovation, with participation from Sequoia Capital, Greenfield Partners, Kindred Capital, Leitmotif, and The Friedkin Group. While venture capital firms bring extensive experience in building category-defining technology companies, the industrial investors contribute deep industry networks to support long-term growth.

“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.”
A Full-Stack Platform Designed for Autonomy
Since its founding in 2020, RobCo has been transforming real-world production environments with its autonomous robotics platform. By integrating perception, motion planning, and self-learning methods, the platform minimizes friction between current processes and full automation. This enables teams to spend less time on system setup and maintenance and more time on core business processes that drive value.
RobCo’s vertically integrated approach combines hardware and software in a single full-stack system. Its robots acquire task-specific skills through demonstration and self-learning, eliminating the need for manual programming. Consequently, deployments are faster, iterations are quicker, and robots adapt seamlessly to complex or variable industrial processes. RobCo effectively serves as a single pane of glass, simplifying operations for its customers.
Accelerating U.S. Expansion
Since entering the U.S. market in 2025, RobCo has established operations in San Francisco and Austin, targeting a market with rising automation demand due to labor constraints, reshoring efforts, and increasing operational complexity. Its robots are already deployed across diverse industrial environments, including global giants like BMW, as well as companies such as DynaEnergetics, Fabricated Extrusion Company, T-Systems, and Rosenberger.

Investor Confidence and Industry Impact
“After leading RobCo’s Series B, we’re excited to double down and co-lead this $100 million round. Our bar is exceptionally high, and RobCo has continued to raise the standard for what modern robotics can look like in real-world production,” said Alexander Schmitt, Lightspeed. “RobCo has what it takes to build a global champion: systems that already deliver in industrial environments today and a platform grounded in Physical AI that can scale across use cases and geographies. This investment supports RobCo’s expansion with a focus on the U.S. and the continued development of a roadmap that compounds learning and grows capability over time.”
Morgan Samet, Managing Partner & Co-Head of Lingotto Innovation, added: “Manufacturing is entering a new phase where autonomy will be a decisive advantage. RobCo stands out because it brings Physical AI into real production environments, combining proven deployment today with a clear, step-by-step path toward higher autonomy allowing learning systems to support people where it matters most on the factory floor.”
With this funding, RobCo aims to solidify its position as a leading AI robotics company, accelerating industrial automation while driving efficiency and innovation across global manufacturing.
