Thirty-seven robotics firms received funding in March 2024, pulling in a total monthly investment of $642 million. March’s investment figure was significantly less than February\u2019s mark<\/a> of approximately $2 billion, but it was in keeping with other monthly investments in 2023 and early 2024 (see Figure 1, below).<\/p>\n

\"March2024<\/p>\n

California companies secure investment<\/h2>\n

As described in Table 1 below, the two largest robotics investments in March were secured by software suppliers. Applied Intuition<\/a>, a provider of software infrastructure to deploy autonomous vehicles at scale, received a $250 million Series E round, while Physical Intelligence<\/a>, a developer of foundation models and other software for robots and actuated devices, attracted $70 million in a seed round. Both firms are located in California.<\/p>\n

Other California firms receiving substantial rounds included Bear Robotics<\/a>, a manufacturer of self-driving indoor robots that raised a $60 million Series C round, and unmanned aerial system (UAS) developer Firestorm<\/a>, whose seed funding was $20 million.

Drones get fuel for takeoff in March 2024<\/h2>\n

Providers of drones, drone technologies, and drone services also attracted substantial individual investments in March 2024. Examples included Firestorm and Gather AI<\/a>, a developer of inventory monitoring drones whose Series A was $17 million.<\/p>\n

In addition, drone services provider Preneu<\/a><\/strong> obtained $11 million in Series B funding, and DRONAMICS<\/a>, a developer of drone technology for cargo transportation and logistics operations, got a grant worth $10.8 million.<\/p>\n

Companies in U.S. and China received the majority of the March 2024 funding, at $451 million and $100 million, respectively (see Figure 2, below).<\/p>\n

Companies based in Japan and the U.K. were also well represented among the March 2024 investment totals. Four companies in Japan secured a total of $34.7 million, while an equal number of firms in the U.K. attracted $13.5 million in funding.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"March<\/p>\n

Nearly 40% of March’s robotics investments came from a single Series E round — that of Applied Intuition. The remaining funding classes were all represented in March 2024 (Figure 3, below).<\/p>\n

Editor’s notes<\/h3>\n

What defines robotics investments? The answer to this simple question is central in any attempt to quantify them with some degree of rigor. To make investment analyses consistent, repeatable, and valuable, it is critical to wring out as much subjectivity as possible during the evaluation process. This begins with a definition of terms and a description of assumptions.<\/em><\/p>\n

Investors and investing<\/h4>\n

Investment should come from venture capital firms, corporate investment groups, angel investors, and other sources. Friends-and-family investments, government\/non-governmental agency grants, and crowd-sourced funding are excluded.<\/em><\/p>\n

Robotics and intelligent systems companies<\/h4>\n

Robotics companies must generate or expect to generate revenue from the production of robotics products (that sense, analyze, and act in the physical world), hardware or software subsystems and enabling technologies for robots, or services supporting robotics devices. For this analysis, autonomous vehicles (including technologies that support autonomous driving) and drones are considered robots, while 3D printers, CNC systems, and various types of \u201chard\u201d automation are not.<\/em><\/p>\n

Companies that are \u201crobotic\u201d in name only, or use the term \u201crobot\u201d to describe products and services that do not enable or support devices acting in the physical world, are excluded. For example, this includes \u201csoftware robots\u201d and robotic process automation. Many firms have multiple locations in different countries. Company locations given in the analysis are based on the publicly listed headquarters in legal documents, press releases, etc.<\/em><\/p>\n

Verification<\/h4>\n

Funding information is collected from several public and private sources. These include press releases from corporations and investment groups, corporate briefings, market research firms, and association and industry publications. In addition, information comes from sessions at conferences and seminars, as well as during private interviews with industry representatives, investors, and others. Unverifiable investments are excluded and estimates are made where investment amounts are not provided or are unclear.<\/em><\/p>\n
