Inbolt has raised $12.5 million in funding, bringing its total funding to $34 million, as the company expands its AI-powered industrial robotics platform into new geographies and markets. The round was led by new investor Shift4Good, with participation from Bridges Climate Transition Partners and existing investors BNP Paribas Développement and Ora Global.
The financing will support expansion across the U.S. and Asia-Pacific, as well as Inbolt’s move into data centers and electronics manufacturing. The company opened a Detroit office in 2026.
Inbolt combines 3D vision with a hardware-agnostic AI software layer that enables industrial robots to perceive changes in their environments and modify their movements in real time.
The technology can be deployed on existing production lines and operates with robot platforms including FANUC, ABB, KUKA, Yaskawa, Comau and Universal Robots.
Inbolt is deployed on more than 200 robots in more than 100 factories across three continents, with customers including Bosch, Beko, Flex, Ford, Stellantis and Toyota. The company also reported a two-year revenue CAGR of more than 500%.
KEY QUOTES:
“AI is increasingly moving beyond screens and into factories and machines. Inbolt enables robots to be deployed faster and to operate with far greater precision and flexibility in changing environments. We have been impressed by the team’s ability to turn sophisticated technology into a robust solution already deployed across leading global manufacturers in automotive and beyond. Inbolt also illustrates Europe’s ability to convert world-class research into technologies with global industrial relevance. We are pleased to support the team as the company enters its next stage of growth.”
Julien Baumont, Partner at Shift4Good
“There are nearly 5 million industrial robots in factories across the world, mostly running blind. They jam, break and sit idle, wasting energy and time. Inbolt’s physical AI has solved this problem in difficult production environments, not just in lab demos. We’re proud to back Rudy, Albane, Louis and the Inbolt team, as they expand their leading computer vision solutions to manufacturers worldwide.”
Christophe Defert, Partner at Bridges Climate Transition Partners
“Robots have been running blind for fifty years. Fixing that isn’t about better hardware. It’s about giving every robot, regardless of make or model, the intelligence to see and adapt in real time. This round lets us bring that to manufacturers everywhere, not just the ones with the deepest integration budgets.”
Rudy Cohen, Co-Founder and CEO of Inbolt
