SoftBank is in early talks to anchor an $800 million round for Agile Robots as the humanoid race enters its capital-intensive phase
SoftBank is in early talks to anchor an $800 million funding round for Agile Robots, the Munich-based robotics company in which the Vision Fund 2 previously led a $220 million Series C in 2021. The potential deal would rank among the largest single raises in physical AI hardware and arrives as SoftBank executes a sweeping pivot toward robotics, including a $5.375 billion acquisition of ABB Robotics and plans for a standalone AI and robotics company called Roze targeting a $100 billion valuation.
