Agile Robots closes $500 million Series F at $8.5 billion valuation

Agile Robots said it closed a $500 million Series F at an $8.5 billion valuation. SoftBank Group led the round. The robotics company named NVIDIA, Hitachi Group, Hitachi Ventures and T.Capital among the other participants.

The Munich-based company plans to use the new capital to strengthen its presence in the United States, develop more robotics applications, increase production capacity in Germany and enter new markets. It did not disclose a site, timetable, staffing target or budget for the US expansion. It also did not say whether the valuation was calculated before or after the new investment.

Agile Robots said the financing brought its total invested capital to $2 billion. The company also says it has deployed more than 20,000 industrial robotics or automation solutions worldwide. That deployment figure is company-reported and has not been independently audited.

The German Aerospace Center identifies Agile Robots as a Munich-based spin-off founded in 2018 by Peter Meusel and Zhaopeng Chen.

Agile Robots says its Fürstenfeldbruck site has capacity to produce up to 10,000 legged and wheeled humanoid robots a year. That is stated capacity, not actual output. In a September factory update, the company said production began in January 2026, the line had entered series production by late summer and humanoid robots were leaving the site every working day.
