  "account": "Berlin, Germany now counts three \"unicorn\" companies exclusively in the field of robotics. After Agile Robots from Munich and Neura Robotics from Metzingen, the Munich industrial robotics specialist Robco has been valued at over one billion dollars by investors. \"In total, we have taken on another 40 million dollars in new capital,\" Robco CEO Roman Hölzl told the Handelsblatt. The round allowed employees to sell their shares profitably. Capital is not the only lever to achieve great things, said Hölzl, referring to the comparatively small cash injection Robco has received. Neura Robotics had raised a financing round worth up to 1.4 billion dollars in early summer and made headlines for many. It is also said that Agile Robots is working on a new round. Founded six years ago, Robco has developed a kind of modular system for industrial robots, with which robots can be operational in one to two days. They can then take over tasks such as palletizing or pick-and-place activities, in which objects are lifted and repositioned.",
  "summary": "Das Start-up wird nun mit mehr als einer Milliarde Dollar bewertet. Firmenchef Roman Hölzl geht davon aus, dass sich der Umsatz in diesem Jahr verdreifacht – erneut.",
