Robotics investments reached at least $4.35 billion in July 2025, the result of 93 funding rounds raised by companies worldwide. The investment landscape was dominated by the United States and China, which together accounted for the majority of the capital raised.

U.S.-based companies raised about $1.8 billion, while Chinese companies raked in just more than $1 billion. Israel was a significant player at $825 million, although that was driven completely by a post-IPO secondary round by autonomous vehicle developer Mobileye.

Geekplus, a Chinese developer of autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) for logistics applications, was the sole IPO for the month. On July 15, Geekplus became the first warehouse AMR robotics company to list publicly on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, marking an important milestone for sector. Geekplus raised $281 million via the IPO.

Companies developing aerial drones and drone-related services led the way with 13 individual investment rounds. Companies developing humanoids, manufacturing robots, maritime robots, medical robots, sensors, and software also raised a significant number of rounds.

There also were at least eight acquisitions for the month, led by Zimmer Biomet buying Monogram Technologies to bolster its surgical robotics capabilities.

While large-scale investments were a defining feature of the month, The Robot Report tracked activity in early-stage funding. Several companies, like Genesis AI and Galaxea AI, raised over $100 million in Seed and Series A rounds, respectively. This indicates a healthy ecosystem for robotics startups.
