Walden Robotics develops and deploys general-purpose robots powered by Large Behavior Models and other Physical AI advances to perform useful work in manufacturing, logistics, and other industries. Founded in 2026 and launched out of Toyota Research Institute, the company combines foundational robotics research with in-house operations teams to bring robots into production environments. Walden reports that its robots have been operating in production at a Toyota plant in North America since February, progressing from pilot to real work in under two months. The company has strategic partnerships across automotive, aerospace, semiconductors, electronics, logistics, and life sciences and emphasizes human-centered deployment where robots work side-by-side with people. Walden’s stated plans center on scaling commercial deployments and continuous on-the-job learning to improve capabilities over time. Financially, the company announced a $300 million seed round at a $1.1 billion valuation led by Toyota and Deviation Capital, providing capital to support its launch and customer expansion.

Founded in 2018, Chichester-based Sees.ai has built a software and control platform that lets industrial drones fly complex missions – including take-off and landing – without direct human input. Its system combines autonomous flight control, collision avoidance and full vehicle management, enabling routine BVLOS operations that replace expensive and risky helicopter inspections. The company is the first in the UK to receive Civil Aviation Authority approval for routine BVLOS flights and has already completed a world-first large-scale deployment with National Grid to inspect live power infrastructure. Sees.ai’s technology is also being applied to offshore wind, oil-and-gas methane monitoring, logistics and emergency response. With competitors such as Civ Robotics, Percepto and Cyberhawk, the startup positions its offering as safer, cheaper and lower-emission. Fresh funding brings total capital raised to at least £3.65 million, supporting expansion across the UK and Europe, added AI for predictive maintenance and new partnerships with utilities and infrastructure operators.

Founded in 2018 by former SpaceX engineers Erik Palitsch and Thomas Ronacher, Freeform has built a proprietary metal additive-manufacturing system that fuses powdered metals with arrays of high-power lasers. Its current GoldenEye machine uses 18 lasers, while the forthcoming Skyfall platform will deploy hundreds of lasers to print thousands of kilograms of parts per day. The system is deeply integrated with real-time physics simulations and sensor feedback, leveraging on-premise Nvidia H200 GPU clusters to optimize every print layer and gather extensive process data. This AI-native approach is intended to raise throughput and part quality while lowering cost, enabling manufacturing-as-a-service for aerospace, defense and other mission-critical sectors. Although specific customers are undisclosed, the company says it is already shipping hundreds of certified parts and holds a sizable contract backlog. With fresh capital, Freeform plans to expand its facility, upgrade to Skyfall, and hire roughly 100 employees. PitchBook pegs the post-financing valuation at $179 million, though the company has not confirmed that figure.

DeFli develops hardware devices that operate within a tokenized ecosystem and an L3 blockchain and node network designed specifically to handle time-series data with FFX encryption. The company plans to manufacture 28,000 devices that will be available for purchase and hosting by the public from May 2024. Proceeds from the announced Series A will also be committed to continued development of the L3 chain and node infrastructure. The funding round included both traditional and crypto-native instruments and incorporated token pre‑sales and SAFE conversion. The round converted prior SAFE funding at 3% of total equity and establishes stronger governance links with investors via board and foundation nominations. Custodial arrangements for one Gnosis Safe signatory wallet were also agreed with the lead investor.
