ARX Robotics raises over €31 million in Series A

Berlin — Munich-based Defen­seTech company ARX Robo­tics has raised over €31 million in its Series A finan­cing round. The round was led by HV Capi­tal, with parti­ci­pa­tion from Omnes Capi­tal and exis­ting inves­tors NATO Inno­va­tion Fund and Project A. ARX Robo­tics was advi­sed by YPOG on this transaction. 

ARX Robo­tics deve­lops auto­no­mous, unman­ned ground vehic­les and the AI-based opera­ting system Mithra OS. ARX robots can be equip­ped for a variety of mili­tary scena­rios, inclu­ding live-fire trai­ning and simu­la­tion, trans­por­ta­tion and medi­cal evacua­tion or special sensor appli­ca­ti­ons for recon­nais­sance missi­ons. Foun­ded in 2022, the company focu­ses on a fully Euro­pean supply chain and addres­ses the growing demand for modu­lar, soft­­ware-defi­­ned defense systems. Six Euro­pean armed forces are alre­ady using ARX Robo­tics’ solu­ti­ons, inclu­ding the largest western-deve­­lo­­ped fleet of unman­ned ground vehic­les deli­vered to the Ukrai­nian army. 

With the fresh capi­tal, the company plans to increase its produc­tion capa­city five­fold in the coming year at
, drive forward its expan­sion into other Euro­pean markets and acce­le­rate the further deve­lo­p­ment of its opera­ting system for exis­ting vehic­les. ARX Robo­tics recently announ­ced the opening of an office in London and a new produc­tion faci­lity in the south of England. In addi­tion, a stra­te­gic part­ner­ship was signed with Daim­ler Truck to deve­lop the next gene­ra­tion of mili­tary vehicles.
