Augmentus Secures $5 million Series A Funding to Automate High-Mix and Complex Manufacturing with No-Code Robotics

by

Augmentus pioneers intelligent, no-code computer vision and robot motion planning, enabling industrial robot programming in minutes instead of days

Augmentus, the global leader in intelligent and no-code robotics software solutions, today announced the successful completion of a USD 5 million Series A funding round. The round was led by Silicon Valley-based venture capital firm Sierra Ventures, along with existing seed investor Cocoon Capital.

Conventional robot programming is both highly fragmented and costly. Robot manufacturers use proprietary programming languages, which require customers to undergo extensive training and expertise to operate their robots, resulting in 75% of lifetime costs being attributed to software and programming.

The industrial robotics software market is projected to reach USD 47 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 27%. Augmentus’ no-code, vision-based robotics system is poised to disrupt this market.
