Agile Robots, a Munich-based robotics company, said on November 12 it closed a US$500 million series F led by SoftBank Group at a US$8.5 billion valuation.

Nvidia, Hitachi Group, and T.Capital joined the round.

The company plans to expand in the US, add production capacity, including in Germany, and enter new markets.

The round brought Agile Robots’ total funding to US$2 billion.

The company, a 2018 spin-off from the German Aerospace Center, makes robots and software for industrial customers.

It said it had deployed 20,000 robotic solutions worldwide and had opened a site near Munich in early 2026 with capacity to produce up to 10,000 legged and wheeled humanoid robots a year.

Agile Robots previously raised a series C led by SoftBank Vision Fund 2.

It also operates a Chinese website, and Bloomberg lists a Beijing entity for the company.

In December 2025, SoftBank and Nvidia were reportedly looking to invest in Skild AI at a US$14 billion valuation.
