Microagi closed a $55 million seed funding round, the largest ever recorded in Germany, the company said Thursday. The robotics data startup rolled out a service in New York in May offering free apartment cleanings in exchange for recording everything inside. It has licensed some of that data exclusively to frontier AI labs.
Microagi also consults with manufacturing and logistics firms, collecting data and footage from live production lines before implementing automation. The company buys hardware from Chinese robot-makers Unitree or UBTech, leases the machines to factories, installs them, and fine-tunes the systems for each client.
Founder and CEO Bercan Kilic told Semafor that the firm is helping shape the “brains” of robots it deploys in customers’ factories.
This setup combines Chinese hardware with German software and training data gathered in New York.
