Insights
- The 56 embodied AI funding deals in this list represent more than $11.5 billion in announced capital between Q1 2024 and Q2 2026.
- Embodied AI funding accelerated sharply in 2026. The 14 deals announced during the first half of 2026 raised more than $5.7 billion.
- Skild AI, NEURA Robotics, Figure AI, and Wayve each announced funding rounds of at least $1 billion during the period covered.
- Investors are funding both robot hardware and the software that controls robots. This includes foundation models, vision-language-action models, simulation tools, and robot learning infrastructure.
- Humanoid robot companies received many of the largest embodied AI funding rounds, but investors also backed autonomous vehicles, industrial machines, service robots, and space robots.
- Several embodied AI companies raised capital more than once. RobotEra, Galbot, Physical Intelligence, Dyna Robotics, Apptronik, and X Square Robot all returned for additional funding.
- China and the United States produced many of the largest embodied AI funding deals, while companies in Europe, Israel, Singapore, and South Korea also attracted investment.
- Industrial deployment is a major focus in the embodied AI market. Many funded companies target manufacturing, logistics, construction, mining, food production, and warehouse operations.
- Hardware-independent robot intelligence is becoming an important investment category. Several companies are building models that can control different robot bodies instead of one specific machine.
Summary table of the funding deals for the embodied AI market since 2024
We define the embodied AI market as AI models and systems that learn through physical interaction, simulation, sensors, and robotic bodies.
It includes Robotic Foundation Models, Humanoid Robot Software, Simulation Training Environments, Vision Language Action Models, Robot Control Policies, and Embodied AI Datasets.
It excludes broader adjacent markets unless the product is built specifically for this use case.
We focused exclusively on pure players, defined as companies with at least 70–80% of their business directly tied to the embodied AI market.
Our analysis has been done at a global level with a minimum funding threshold of $300k.
