About Kinematic Trees
Kinematic Trees is developing robot-agnostic deployment software that separates reusable control, perception and intelligence modules from a specific machine body. The architecture distributes computation across robot, local and cloud resources, allowing teams to reconfigure modules and communications as hardware or operating requirements change. Its stated target sectors include agriculture, construction, healthcare and manufacturing.
The platform is intended to give integrators a shared software foundation for machines from different suppliers, with modules that can be reused, modified and deployed across successive embodiments. That proposition remains at an early commercial stage: the company was founded in 2025, announced a £585,000 pre-seed round in July 2026 and described initial customer factory-deployment partnerships as planned for the second half of 2026. The profile therefore records deployment ambition separately from completed customer operation.
