With OpenAI backing, Allonic raises €6 million for robotic body manufacturing platform

Budapest-based robotics start-up Allonic has actually increased EUR6 million ($ 7.2 million) in pre-Seed financing to industrialise a brand-new means of generating facility, dexterous robot bodies with its production system.

The round was led by Visionaries Club, with engagement from The first day Resources, Model, SDAC Ventures and TinyVC. The round likewise consists of greater than a lots angel financiers consisting of OpenAI and Hugging Face, along with leading research study establishments such as ETH Zurich and Northwestern College. This is supposedly the biggest pre-Seed funding finished in Hungary to day.

“ A great deal of focus gets on knowledge and software application, however equipment still holds most of the hardest issues,” claims Benedek Tasi, founder and chief executive officer of Allonic. “ The compromises in between sturdiness and soft qualities, mastery and toughness have actually constantly been determined by the restrictions of production. We are eliminating those restrictions and constructing a system that permits robotics groups to make, construct and repeat openly, without equipment expense or intricacy holding them back.“

In the broader European robotics and physical-AI financing setting of 2025– 2026, Allonic’s pre-Seed round straightens with a stable circulation of resources right into both hardware-centric and allowing robotics modern technologies.

In 2025, Zurich-based Gravis Robotics increased EUR19 million to scale its independent robot excavators for building and construction, while fellow Swiss start-up mimic safeguarded EUR13.8 million to create dexterous robot systems. Likewise in Zurich, Flexion shut a EUR43 million Collection A to construct cognitive and control systems for humanoid and independent robotics.

On the freedom and software application side, Germany’s Energy Robotics increased EUR11.5 million to progress independent examination robotics and drones, while London-based Neuracore increased EUR2.5 million pre-Seed to construct unified robot-learning framework.

In surrounding application-focused sectors, Warsaw-based Nomagic revealed an EUR8.3 million round in very early 2026 to scale physical-AI releases, Dutch start-up SAIA Agrobotics increased EUR10 million for greenhouse automation, and UK-based ScrubMarine safeguarded around EUR849k pre-Seed for subsea robotics.

Completely, these divulged rounds stand for approximately EUR98 million spent right into European robotics and very closely relevant physical-AI start-ups over the duration.

Versus this background, Allonic’s Hungary-based pre-Seed funding is noteworthy both for its dimension at such an onset and for its concentrate on robot production framework, a location that has actually seen somewhat less big early-stage financial investments than applications or software application layers.

“ Having the ability to go from concept to physical robotic in mins rather than weeks basically transforms exactly how we can consider robotics layout,” Benedek includes. “ As soon as that obstacle goes away, completely brand-new courses of robotics end up being feasible“

Established In 2021, Allonic is a robotics equipment business introducing 3D Cells Braiding, a production system for generating incorporated, certified, bio-inspired robot bodies with a solitary, completely automated manufacturing procedure.

By removing assembly-heavy layouts and supply-chain intricacy, Allonic intends to allow faster model, reduced expenses, and more secure, much more dexterous robotics to be constructed.

According to the business, a lot of innovative robotics are still constructed with slow-moving, typically hands-on setting up of thousands of accuracy components. This makes them pricey to generate, tough to tailor-make for varied usage situations, and hard to range. Allonic thinks this production traffic jam is currently the specifying restriction on what robotics can end up being.

While AI advancements have actually changed exactly how robotics run, their physical building and construction has actually altered little bit from industrial-era conventions. Robot hands, arms and manipulators are still created item by item, relying upon bearings, screws, cords, and fragile joints that are expensive to make and laborious to set up.

As useful needs raise, so does mechanical intricacy– structure and scaling the appropriate bodies that integrate mastery, effectiveness and human-safety.

Allonic is tackling this difficulty at the production framework layer. Its exclusive manufacturing procedure changes hands-on setting up with a completely automated, scalable production system. Influenced by exactly how ropes accomplish toughness with framework instead of inflexible components, Allonic 3D-weaves customized robot “cells” straight over a skeletal core.

Rather than constructing thousands of specific components, Allonic’s ligaments, joints and load-bearing soft cells are created with each other in one constant procedure.

A robot finger, for instance, can be constructed from a handful of bone-like components, held with each other by thousands of penalty fibers that twist around and support right into the framework itself, comparable to connective cells in the body.

Allonic’s system incorporates exclusive software and hardware that permits individuals to set up top-level robot layouts and convert them immediately right into manufacturing code, in a procedure comparable to cutting in 3D printing.

Several products can be incorporated right into a solitary framework, allowing elastics, electrical wiring and picking up components to be installed straight right into robot bodies throughout manufacturing. Advanced robot elements, or total arm or legs, can be produced straight from electronic layouts without taking care of intricate supply chains or dispersed manufacture and setting up procedures.

This opens a brand-new operating design for producers, start-ups and scientists: Manipulators can be developed, generated and changed as needed, minimizing downtime and removing extensive upkeep cycles. At Allonic’s manufacturing rate and expenses, robot end effects can be exchanged as quickly as non reusable handwear covers, making tailor-maked equipment financially feasible for the very first time.

“ Robotics has actually gotten to an oblique factor,” claims Marton Sarkadi Nagy, Companion at Visionaries Club. “ The space in between advanced, AI-driven software application and slow-moving equipment production is currently a restricting aspect for the whole market. Allonic is the very first business I have actually attended resolve this trouble at the framework layer. By reassessing exactly how robot bodies are constructed from square one, they unlock to quicker model, reduced expenses, and robotics that will ultimately have the ability to relocate past slim commercial usage situations“

Given that disclosing its innovation in May 2025, Allonic has actually currently finished its very first pilot task in electronic devices producing, targeting jobs where conventional commercial robotics do not have the needed flexibility, however completely popularized robot systems are still not practical or excessively pricey, especially at range.

The recently increased resources will certainly be made use of to speed up the advancement of Allonic’s 3D Cells Entwining system, broaden its design and procedures groups, and assistance more pilots and very early industrial releases with commercial companions.
