FieldAI disclosed on 20 August 2025 that it had raised $405 million across two consecutive financing rounds to expand its robotics autonomy software. Backers included Bezos Expeditions, Canaan Partners, Khosla Ventures, Prysm, Temasek, BHP Ventures, Intel Capital and NVentures; the company identified Gates Frontier and Samsung as previous investors. The total was funding across two rounds, not one newly announced $405 million single round.
FieldAI’s Field Foundation Models are designed to handle uncertainty, risk and physical constraints while running decisions on the robot itself. The company says its shared autonomy software supports quadrupeds, humanoids, wheeled robots and passenger-scale vehicles without requiring prior maps, GPS or predefined paths. Reported customer applications span construction, energy, manufacturing, delivery and inspection in the United States, Europe and Japan.
The company reported testing and deployments in hundreds of industrial environments, including daily customer operations and expansion contracts. The $405 million will support international growth, development in locomotion and manipulation and hiring, with a target to double headcount by the end of 2025. The disclosure combines two financing rounds and does not assign the entire amount to a single new round.
