FUZZY LOGIC ROBOTICS
FUZZY LOGIC ROBOTICS RAISES €2.5 MILLION The Franco-American start-up Fuzzy Logic Robotics announces a €2.5 million round of financing from two deep tech funds: 42 CAP, an industry-specialized German fund based in Munich, and Karista, an industrial fund based in Paris.
Robotics within everyone’s reach The platform is attracting strong interest from large companies, especially for applications with many different part types to be programmed or which have demanding requirements in terms of trajectory and motion accuracy. But as well as current users of industrial robots, Fuzzy Logic Robotics intends to open up a market that is still in its infancy, that of small and medium-sized industrial companies. The platform removes all the complexities of implementing a robot and eliminates the need for robotics expertise throughout the service life of the robot, two obstacles that until now have often been prohibitive for SMEs and SMBs. Ryan Lober, CEO and cofounder, states: “We believe that making robotics accessible to all will help sustain and develop all sectors of industry in the broadest possible sense (automotive, food processing, medical, etc., as well as construction and public works). And Fuzzy Logic Robotics is key to introducing robots into small companies.”
A scalable software platform The Fuzzy Studio and Fuzzy RTOS solution are currently being deployed at customers in France and Germany, who were chosen specifically for their technical requirements. The current fundraising will allow the technical team to be reinforced and deployed at new customers in Europe, serving as platform ambassadors. Eventually, Fuzzy Logic Robotics aims to become the universal and open “operating system” platform, benefiting all robotics players, robot manufacturers, solution integrators, end customers and small businesses. https://www.flr.io
