Robotics firms raised roughly $1.3 billion in July 2024. That determine is a results of 47 investments for producers of robots and robotics enabling applied sciences. July’s whole is barely greater than the 12-month trailing investments common of $1.2 billion.
Investments for the primary seven months of 2024 equals roughly $9.7 billion. The $9.7 billion determine compares favorably to the January to July 2023 whole funding quantity of $8 billion. Robotics firms raised $2.7 billion in June 2024, however that quantity was inflated by two giant investments raised by autonomous car firms.
Robotics investments can be a serious matter at RoboBusiness, which is produced by The Robotic Report and runs Oct. 16-17 in Santa Clara, Calif. F-Prime Capital can be talking on Oct. 16 about investor shifts within the robotics panorama, whereas a panel on Oct. 17 will have a look at the present state of robotics investments. MassRobotics’ startup bootcamp can even cowl how robotics startups can strategy elevating funding.
The 2 largest robotics investments in July 2024 had been secured by software program companies. Utilized Instinct, a supplier of simulation and different software program options for autonomous autos, and Skild AI, a developer of robotics basis fashions, landed $300 million in July 2024 funding.
Saronic, a protection know-how startup, raised $175 million for its autonomous floor vessels (ASVs). The Austin, Texas-based firm stated its ASVs function a “drive multiplier” for the present fleet, working alongside crewed techniques and permitting naval forces to go farther and do extra with much less threat to life and mission.
Monarch Tractor raised $133 million in Sequence C funding. The California-based agribotics firm will use its newest funding to additional develop Autodrive, its autonomous operations product, for brand new world markets and crop sectors. The corporate additionally plans to broaden its operational footprint domestically and globally, in addition to observe its deliberate path to profitability. It has raised greater than $220 million up to now.
Two different notable investments went to firms growing robots for the restaurant and hospitality sectors. Botrista Know-how, a provider of a robotic beverage manufacturing platform, attracted $65 million of funding in July, whereas OakDeer Robotics, a producer of meals cooking robots and associated applied sciences, landed $27 million in funding.
Firms primarily based in the US and China obtained essentially the most whole funding. Firms primarily based within the U.S. (19) and China (11) additionally obtained the vast majority of the funding rounds in July.
All funding sorts had been nicely represented in July 2024 funding totals. For each the whole variety of investments and the general quantity of funding, most rounds and funding quantities fell into the ‘Different’ class, a blanket phrase for funding sorts that fall outdoors the standard levels of funding that companies undergo earlier than their preliminary public providing (ex. Seed, Sequence A, B, C, D, E and F funding).

What defines robotics investments?
The reply to this query is central in any try to quantify them with a point of rigor. To make funding analyses constant, repeatable, and priceless, it’s essential to wring out as a lot subjectivity as doable through the analysis course of. This begins with a definition of phrases and an outline of assumptions.
Investments
Robotics investments ought to come from enterprise capital companies, company funding teams, angel buyers, and different sources. Associates-and-family investments, authorities/non-governmental company grants, and crowdsourced funding are excluded.
Robotics Firms
Robotics firms should generate or anticipate to generate income from the manufacturing of robotics merchandise (that sense, analyze, and act within the bodily world), {hardware} or software program subsystems and enabling applied sciences for robots, or providers supporting robotics gadgets. For this evaluation, autonomous autos (together with applied sciences that assist autonomous driving) and drones are thought-about robots, whereas 3D printers, CNC techniques, and numerous sorts of “laborious” automation are usually not.
Firms which might be “robotic” in title solely, or use the time period “robotic” to explain services that don’t allow or assist gadgets appearing within the bodily world, are excluded. For instance, this contains “software program robots” and robotic course of automation. Many companies have a number of places in numerous international locations. Firm places given within the evaluation are primarily based on the publicly listed headquarters in authorized paperwork, press releases, and so on.
Verification
Funding data is collected from a number of private and non-private sources. These embrace press releases from companies and funding teams, company briefings, market analysis companies, and affiliation and business publications. As well as, data comes from periods at conferences and seminars, in addition to throughout personal interviews with business representatives, buyers, and others. Unverifiable investments are excluded and estimates are made the place funding quantities are usually not supplied or are unclear.
