Warehouses, drones, humanoids, more drones and underwater ones. In April, the maturity of drone funding was noticeable, as well as the ongoing interest in logistics robots, robotics components and robot training/learning platforms. Funding continues to go into Chinese humanoid companies but across the rest of the world, all the other verticals are getting funded; medical, pharmaceutical, cosmetological, assistive tech, hospitality and service tech, construction, advanced manufacturing, logistics and all sorts of air, sea and space drones.

India is emerging as a robotics investment nation with RoshAi, Vikra Ocean, Stridar and AutoRobotics Studio. As is Ireland with Manna Air Delivery and Dronamics; and Canada with A&K Robotics, Sanctuary and Ascent Systems Technology. Robotics rounds from California included Skydio, Reliable Robotics, Firestorm, Anvil Robotics, RoboDock and Impossible Metals.

Here’s the break down of April robotics funding data - 109 funding rounds for a total of $3,193,992,957, USD a drop in funding dollars from March but a good number of rounds. No funding amount is reported for approx 33% of entries, and large late stage rounds always skew the totals. You can find 2025 in the archives and here are the links to the rest of 2026:
