RoboForce has secured $52 million in fresh funding in a round led by YZi Labs, taking its total capital raised to $67 million as it accelerates the development of robotics systems designed for physically demanding industrial environments.
Founded in 2023 by Leo Ma, RoboForce is focused on building advanced AI-powered robotic labor systems capable of handling heavy lifting, repetitive tasks, and operations in harsh conditions where workforce availability and sustainability remain ongoing challenges.
The company’s platform leverages high-precision AI models—down to 1mm accuracy—to enable robots to perform complex industrial functions across sectors such as utility-scale solar, manufacturing, mining, and even space applications. Its solutions are aimed at addressing labor shortages while improving efficiency and reducing long-term operational costs.
The newly raised capital will be deployed to fast-track product development and scale deployment of its robotics platform from prototype to full-scale production. With growing global demand for automation in labor-intensive industries, RoboForce is positioning itself to capture a significant share of the industrial robotics market.
RoboForce’s team brings together expertise from leading technology and robotics ecosystems, with talent from institutions such as Carnegie Mellon University and companies including Amazon, Tesla, Google, Waymo, Apple, and Microsoft.
The startup is also backed by prominent investors, including Nobel Laureate Myron Scholes and venture capitalist Gary Rieschel, underscoring strong confidence in its vision to redefine industrial labor through AI-driven robotics.
As industries continue to embrace automation to overcome workforce constraints and improve productivity, RoboForce’s latest funding round highlights the sustained momentum in the industrial robotics space.
