Theker Robotics has raised an $85 million Series A funding round, which the company described as the largest robotics Series A financing in Europe to date.
The round was led by CRV and included participation from Samsung and Aglaé Ventures, the venture capital firm backed by LVMH, according to co-founder Carla Gómez Cano.
Founded in Barcelona by Gómez Cano and Jiaqiang Ye Zhu, Theker has developed a robotics platform that uses deep learning-based vision and control systems to allow robots to adapt to changing industrial environments without extensive reprogramming. The company says the technology enables the same robotic system to perform tasks across industries including logistics, retail and waste management.
“Today we are well on our way to the goal we set from day one: to solve 100% of physical work,” Gómez Cano wrote. “Our robots are live in production, improving every day, and the pace is only increasing.”
The company, which raised $21 million seed funding in July 2025, operates under a robotics-as-a-service model, allowing customers to deploy automation without large upfront equipment purchases. According to seed round lead investor Mundi Ventures, the approach is intended to lower barriers to automation adoption, and Theker has already secured customers including Inditex, which is using its systems to automate operational tasks.
Theker indicated it is hiring across business, product and deployment functions as it expands operations following the funding round.
