Robotics raises: CarbonSix, Luxonis, Macrodata Labs, Queue, Six Robotics

We’re back with another roundup of notable robotics and automation startup fundraises for the week of 7/6. Based on this week’s batch, if you are a robotics startup with the number six somewhere in your name, we've got some good news.

Today we’ve got a startup helping robotics trainers make sense of their data, a company building fully autonomous pharmacies, drone swarm software, and more. 

CarbonSix, $40 million, Series A

CarbonSix builds both software and hardware for manufacturing automation. While many robotics companies are operating in this space, the South Korean startup hopes to stand out due to its “data flywheel” approach that feeds data from its hardware back into its software to help it continuously improve.

The company just raised a $40 million Series A round co-led by DSC Investment and LB Investment with participation from a number of both U.S. and Korea-based investors. CarbonSix told A3 it plans to put the recently raised funds toward hiring, research and development, and expanding into new markets.

Luxonis, $14 million, Series A

Vision remains the sense robots rely on the most to perceive the world around them. Luxonis, a startup building sensors and cameras to help robots do just that, just raised a $14 million Series A round led by Denali Growth Partners with participation from Taiwania Capital.

The company told A3 that this latest round of funding is meant to help advance the tech ecosystem around its perception platform and to boost supply chain capacity for its  OAK 4 suite of cameras, which were released in 2025. Luxonis is also looking to hire across its engineering, research, and go-to-market teams.

Macrodata Labs, $4 million, Pre-Seed

Data remains the most valuable resource needed for training robots. Gathering said data is one challenge, and there are many companies looking to solve that by capturing and selling sets. But processing data into useful robotic training material is yet another hurdle — even if a company’s robots are collecting data that could be used.  

Parisian physical AI startup Macrodata Labs looks to help companies make sense of their data by providing the infrastructure layer needed to process the information for training purposes. The company just raised a $4 million pre-seed round led by Air Street Capital with participation from Drysdale Ventures, Kima Ventures and OPRTRS Club, among others.

Queue, $12.6 million, Seed

If you’ve been to a pharmacy to pick up a prescription recently, you’d probably agree — easily — that it is an industry ripe for automation. Queue looks to do that with its robotic pharmacy machines that fill and dispense more than 250 common drugs without a human pharmacist.

The startup just emerged from stealth with $12.6 million in seed funding led by AlleyCorp. The company told A3 that it has already landed a major pharmaceutical player as a customer and will use the funding to speed up its product development and to start shipping its first commercial units.

Six Robotics, €12 million, Seed

As drones continue to play an increasing role in warfare, the tech around these often autonomous flying machines continues to get better. Norwegian startup Six Robotics is building software that enables autonomous devices to work and make decisions together as a swarm. The company just raised a €12 million ($13.7 million) seed round led by DTCP.

It makes sense that there are so many companies looking to build the software glue needed to get autonomous systems to operate together. Not only does this make sense for defense operations, mimicking fleets of other military vessels, but also for many other use cases like search and rescue.
