Trener Robotics, formerly T-Robotics, builds Acteris, a ‘physical intelligence’ software platform that converts conversational instructions into executable robot actions across brands such as ABB, Universal Robots and FANUC. Acteris is trained on visual, haptic, language and action data so robots can self-learn and adapt to changing parts or unstructured shop-floor conditions in real time, replacing traditional code-heavy programming. The system is positioned as the intelligence layer for industrial automation and is delivered through systems-integrator and OEM partners; the company has already collaborated with more than 15 integrators in Europe and the United States. Future plans for the newly raised capital include accelerating R&D in its T-Labs unit, expanding its library of production-ready skills, global hiring and broadening market and partner reach. Founded in 2024 by CEO Dr. Asad Tirmizi and CTO Dr. Lars Tingelstad, the team brings experience from Vicarious, ByteDance and NTNU. Industry recognition includes winning the Machine Tool Innovation Award at EMO Hannover and the ABB AI Startup Challenge. The Series A raises total funding to more than $38 million, underscoring investor confidence in its robot-agnostic, software-defined approach to automation.
