VCs are eager to back a new wave of AI-powered robots. Here are 12 startups in the space to watch.
Briefly

The article discusses the increasing interest of venture capitalists in a new generation of robotics startups that leverage AI and spatial intelligence. Funded startups are developing robots capable of performing complex tasks autonomously across various sectors, including healthcare and logistics. With advancements in AI, particularly in robotic perception and decision-making, these companies are transitioning robots from simple, repetitive jobs to handling dynamic real-world applications. As VCs anticipate 2025 to be focused on AI agents, the future of robotics looks promising with significant funding and innovation.
As AI advances enable robots to move from structured, repetitive tasks to more complex and dynamic real-world applications, we'll see rapid progress in robotic perception, manipulation, and decision-making capabilities.
The robotics industry is getting a makeover, and VCs are clamoring to back startups in the space industry that are building robots that autonomously complete tasks for their human counterparts.
Thanks to a new tech called spatial intelligence, robots can navigate their environment more efficiently, process data, and react in real time without needing a roboticist to painstakingly calibrate their every move.
These startups are building robots to operate autonomously in healthcare, logistics, and elsewhere, showcasing a shift towards more advanced applications of robotic technology.
