Theker raises $85M to build a universal factory robot and accelerate automation

Friends, I’d like to share news from robotics and automation: startup Theker has raised $85M.

- The company develops reconfigurable robots with interchangeable arms and modules for sorting, packing, and handling bottles and cans.
- The round was led by CRV; investors include Samsung and Aglaé Ventures; Inditex was an early backer.
- Theker is going straight into logistics and operations, bypassing pilots, opening a showroom in Barcelona, and planning expansion.

Why it matters: versatile robots can speed large-scale automation in retail and industry.

Are manufacturing operations ready to adopt such robots at scale?
