TTHEKER Robotics
THEKER Robotics builds AI-native generalist robots for real industrial production environments — full-stack systems combining vision, control and large language models so they adapt in real time to mixed SKUs, irregular shapes and changing conditions without manual reprogramming. Founded in 2022 in Barcelona by two UPC robotics engineers, it raised Spain's largest-ever seed round (€18M / ~$21M, led by Kibo Ventures with strategic backing from Inditex) and in June 2026 an $85M (€73M) Series A led by CRV — billed as Europe's largest robotics Series A. Its robots already run inside live Inditex production facilities, and the company plans to grow to ~120 employees.
