🤖 SoftBank and Nvidia back German humanoid maker Agile Robots at an $8.5 billion valuation
Munich-based Agile Robots has raised a $500 million Series F led by SoftBank Group, with Nvidia, Hitachi and T.Capital also joining, lifting its total funding to about $2 billion. The DLR spin-off builds humanoid and mobile robots, robot arms and hands, plus the AI models that control them, and says it has installed more than 20,000 robotic systems worldwide. The money will fund a push into the US and more production, including its new factory near Munich that can build up to 10,000 legged and wheeled humanoids a year.
⭐ It's one of Europe's biggest bets yet on "physical AI," and a sign the humanoid race isn't just a US-China contest.
