Theker、特定用途に特化しない工場ロボットを作るため8500万ドルを調達
Thekerは、一般的な工場作業向けのモジュラーロボットを構築するため8500万ドルを調達した。この資金調達は、固定用途マシンを超える柔軟なオートメーションへの需要を裏付けている。
barcelona-based ai robotics startup the ker raised $85m in a series a round led by crv, backed by samsung and lvmh's aglaé ventures. the funding supports the development of modular robots designed for generalist tasks in logistics and manufacturing, contrasting with fixed-form humanoids or single-function bots. by allowing hardware reconfiguration, the ker targets the messy reality of factories where processes vary too much for traditional automation. with strategic investors like inditex and samsung, the startup aims to bypass pilot programs and deploy directly into operations across europe, the us, and asia.
