The funding comes as the robotics sector reaches a critical inflection point, with autonomous systems increasingly deployed across industries such as agriculture, construction, defence, manufacturing, autonomous vehicles, and humanoid robotics.
The company intends to use the new capital to enhance existing products through expanded international compliance, additional communication protocols, and new API integrations.
It will also invest in developing next-generation safety solutions, including advanced data analytics capabilities, to replace traditional safety methods and address the specific challenges posed by physical AI.
A portion of the funds will also support FORT’s broader growth efforts and the wider rollout of its technology platform.
In addition to Tiger Global, the round saw continued support from Prime Movers Lab, Mark Cuban, FundersClub, Creative Ventures, GRIDS Capital, and Ahoy Capital. New investors include Neman Ventures, Mana Ventures, Gaingels, and Ryuu Co. of Japan.
Innovative applications of technology in retail and e-commerce, healthcare and pharmaceuticals, food and beverage, automotive, transport & logistics, and more will be celebrated at the Robotics & Automation Awards on 29 October 2025 at De Vere Grand Connaught Rooms in London.
