Standard Bots Raises $200 Million Series C at $1 Billion Valuation to Scale American-Made, AI-Native Industrial Robots
The company will expand its New York manufacturing footprint and says its robots are deployed at hundreds of U.S. companies in nearly every state.
- On Tuesday, Standard Bots announced a $200 million Series C funding round led by RoboStrategy and General Catalyst, valuing the Glen Cove, New York-based AI-native robotics manufacturer at $1 billion.
- Standard Bots is betting $200 million that domestic automation can reverse American manufacturing's decline from 20 million workers in 1979 to 13 million today. China installed 295,000 industrial robots in 2024, far outpacing the United States.
- CEO Evan Beard says AI-native robots act as "the essential power tool of the 21st century," learning via demonstration rather than code. The company is expanding its Glen Cove, New York facility to 70,000 square feet to scale production.
- RoboStrategy CEO Andrew Kang noted Standard Bots solved making robots usable without specialized programming. The company is on pace to deliver 10% of new U.S. industrial robot deployments by next year.
- A 2025 study cited by the company found plants adopting robots saw approximately 150% increase in job postings and 15% increase in employment. Findings suggest robot adoption raises output and competitiveness with positive spillover effects across the entire plant.
