The capital is earmarked for developing a next‑generation humanoid platform, beta‑testing wheel‑based robots later in the year, and beginning mass manufacturing, while expanding AI capabilities through its KinetIQ framework and partnerships with major industrial players. A few weeks later, in In early August 2026, San Francisco‑based AI‑agent startup HappyRobot secured closed a $150 million Series C round, pushing its valuation to $1.2 billion.

HappyRobot, founded by Spanish entrepreneurs, now serves more than 150 corporate customers—including DHL, Uber and Repsol—automating millions of tasks per month and saving roughly 28 000 work hours for a single client each month. The new funds will support the further platform development, broader enterprise‑software integrations, scaling of AI‑agent infrastructure, and expansion of engineering, integration, engineering and go‑to‑market teams as the company scales deployment of AI agents for mission‑critical enterprise tasks. Together, these across North America, Europe, Latin America and Australia.
