Automata Raises $45M to Power AI‑Ready Lab Automation with Danaher Backing

Automata has closed a $45M Series C round, led by Dimension with Danaher Ventures joining as a strategic investor, to scale its AI-ready lab automation platform for life sciences.
Abundant

Abundant runs a platform with a Human Intelligence API. It connects AI agents to skilled human workers for complex jobs AI can’t do alone. This setup lets teams build dependable AI systems that succeed more often. Features cover data collection, testing for flaws, and routing hard cases to experts.
SoilTronix

SoilTronix develops systems that continuously measure and track soil nutrients, moisture, and related field conditions. Its platform gives farmers clear data on when and where to apply fertilizer, helping reduce waste, lower costs, and improve crop health. The technology supports better land management, more precise decisions throughout the growing season, and long-term soil sustainability.
Skygauge Robotics

Skygauge develops industrial inspection drones that replace scaffolding, rope access, and bucket trucks for work at height. Its drones let inspectors get close to tanks, stacks, pipes, and other structures to collect detailed visual and sensor data while keeping workers on the ground. The system helps companies cut downtime, lower inspection costs, and improve safety in energy, infrastructure, and heavy industry.
SEER Robotics

SEER Robotics provides parts to build warehouse robot fleets in days using controllers, peripherals and software for fast assembly. Customers select off-the-shelf robots with matching software for immediate use. This setup handles picking, sorting and moving goods in warehouses.
Standard Robots

Standard Robots makes industrial mobile robots that move materials in factories. These robots handle tasks in electronics assembly, car production, semiconductors, new energy batteries, biotech labs, and more. Their systems use SLAM for mapping, their own operating system for control, and software that lets over 2000 robots work together without collisions. Products cover standard carts, human-safe embodied models, and simulation tools for testing setups. They focus on flexible, safe transport that fits tight spaces and heavy loads.
Siasun

SIASUN builds industrial robots that handle sensing, thinking, and decisions for factory tasks. It produces mobile robots with years of development for moving goods. The company creates welding setups for auto parts and vehicles, plus assembly lines for stamping, tightening, and gluing processes. Products carry certifications like CE and UL, and serve large global firms.
Syrius Robotics

Syrius Robotics makes self-driving robots that move goods in warehouses. These robots handle picking, storage, and transport without human drivers. The company provides software to control robot fleets and cloud tools for tracking operations. Customers use them to speed up order fulfillment and cut labor costs in e-commerce and retail. Robots work on flat floors and shelves for flexible setups.
Swift Robotics

Swift Robotics makes self-driving indoor robots for hospitals. These robots carry medicines, tools, food and other items between locations without people driving them. They also watch for problems like floor hazards, intruders or wandering patients using AI. This helps hospital workers handle more important jobs. Robots work in places like hospitals and care homes to boost safety and cut down routine work.
EngineAI

EngineAI develops full-size humanoid robots and agile robot platforms designed to perform physical tasks in factories, logistics, public spaces, and labs. Its PM01 and T800 robots handle dynamic movements like walking, rolling, kicking, and flips while keeping balance and stability. EngineAI also provides custom robot components, including high-torque joints, self-developed motors, and control modules that support multi-joint coordination and long battery-powered operation.
