Theker Raises $85M for Reconfigurable, Non-Specialized Factory Robots

TechCrunch·medium signal

Robotics startup Theker raised $85M to build factory robots designed to be reconfigured rather than built around a single fixed form, contrasting with humanoid-first approaches like Boston Dynamics. The bet is that adaptability, not anthropomorphic design, is the path to flexible automation. It adds to the wave of capital flowing into general-purpose physical robotics.
