Singapore-based Augmentus, a company leading in AI-powered robotics and automation, has received a new strategic investment from Applied Ventures, the venture capital arm of Applied Materials.
This funding is an important step for Augmentus as it works to make smart, self-operating robots that can handle complex and varied manufacturing tasks worldwide.
The main innovation of Augmentus is its AutoPath™ robotics system, which acts as both the eyes and brain of industrial robots. It uses advanced 3D vision and smart technology to help robots see, understand, and respond to their surroundings more accurately.
AutoPath creates detailed 3D maps, allowing robots to detect even tiny shapes and surface differences. Using this data, robots can automatically adjust their movements in real time, ensuring precise and consistent performance in complex and varied work environments.
This combination of vision and intelligence creates a no-code system, meaning robots no longer need expert programmers or manual setup. They can now be installed and adjusted within minutes instead of hours or days. This makes robots more flexible and able to learn and adapt to real-world production changes, turning them into smart partners instead of just pre-programmed machines.
“Our vision is to enable factories to adapt as quickly as the world changes,” said Daryl Lim, Co-Founder & CEO of Augmentus. “With the support of Applied Ventures, we are accelerating toward a future where robots can truly see, understand, and act — bringing agility, precision, and resilience to global manufacturing.”
“At Applied Ventures, we invest in innovative companies that are driving breakthroughs in AI, automation and advanced manufacturing,” said Abhishek Sud, Senior Investment Director at Applied Ventures, LLC. “Our investment in Augmentus underscores the rising importance of adaptive robotics in enabling efficiency and resilience in a rapidly evolving industrial landscape.”
Augmentus is a high-tech robotics software company based in Singapore, with offices in Austin, Texas, USA. Its AI-powered, no-code platform combines 3D scanning, automatic path planning, and smart robot movement to help manufacturers automate complicated tasks quickly and easily.
Used in industries like aerospace, automotive, energy, and heavy manufacturing, Augmentus helps robots adjust to real-world changes and reduces setup time from several hours to just a few minutes.
