View original at www.therobotreport.com

Robotics investments in August 2018 totaled at least $921.13 million worldwide with a total of 29 investments. Unverifiable robotics investments, including several in China, have been excluded from this recap. There also are several robotics investments in which the amounts were not disclosed. If we verify those amounts, we will update these figures. In July 2018, 34 robotics companies raised $1.6B worldwide , while 27 robotics startups raised $2.1 billion in June .
