Paris-based Bleu Robotics has raised a €5m pre-seed round led by Contrarian Ventures and OVNI Capital as it looks to bring the time it takes to deploy humanoid robots in factories down from months to less than an hour.
The startup claims its robots can be trained in just 20 minutes, a sharp reduction from traditional methods that often take months. Bleu Robotics targets industries such as automotive manufacturing, where deployment speed is critical.
Investors including Contrarian Ventures and OVNI Capital participated in the round. The funding will support further development of the company's proprietary training algorithms and expansion of its engineering team.
Bleu Robotics aims to launch its first commercial deployments by next year, focusing on European manufacturing hubs. The company emphasizes safety and adaptability as core features of its robotic systems.
