The 25 most promising robotics startups in 2026, according to investors
We asked investors from Sequoia, Felicis, Bessemer, and more to highlight promising robotics startups, as the sector sees an investment boom in 2026.
Here is my attempt at summarizing the list of 25 promising robotics startups according to investors, without copying any wording from the source:
1. Avatar Robotics - Uses remotely operated robots to sort and pack products in warehouses. CEO Colin Webb aims to create an unlimited industrial workforce using this approach.
2. Cobot Proxie - Builds mobile robots that work alongside people in various settings to move carts and materials. Their second-generation Proxie robot can lift heavier loads and is cheaper to produce.
3. Dash Bio - Automates lab testing for drug development by handling manual tasks such as sample preparation and running tests. Co-founder Dave Johnson's background at Moderna gives Dash Bio a competitive edge.
4. Dexterity - Develops a general-purpose AI brain designed to control many types of robots. Their flagship robot, Mech, is an industrial superhumanoid with large arms capable of tasks like loading trucks and stacking boxes.
