German startup RobCo, now valued at $1 billion, is tackling a key weakness in factory automation: the time it takes to reprogram robots for new tasks. The company builds modular robots paired with drag-and-drop programming, letting manufacturers reconfigure them in hours rather than days. Its robotics-as-a-service model offers robots on recurring payments with no large upfront investment, lowering the barrier for small and mid-sized factories to adopt automation.
Why now: Its new unicorn valuation and a simpler, subscription-based approach to factory robotics have drawn attention.
