Stateful Robotics raises £3.6m in pre-seed funding led by Amadeus Capital Partners and Oxford Science Enterprises to scale its robotic intelligence platform.

Amadeus Capital Partners and Oxford Science Enterprises led the pre-seed round to accelerate the deployment of the robotics intelligence platform.

Stateful Robotics is an embodied artificial intelligence company that develops decision intelligence software to help mobile robots operate reliably in unpredictable environments. Spun out from the University of Oxford, the company provides platforms that allow single robots and fleets to plan missions and adapt to real-world disruptions.

Stateful Robotics has raised £3.6m in a pre-seed funding round led by Amadeus Capital Partners and Oxford Science Enterprises. The capital will be deployed to expand the engineering team, refine performance engines, and scale commercial partnerships within industrial sectors.

The Oxford spinout develops software that integrates live data, task progress, and historical performance into a dynamic artificial intelligence model. This approach allows autonomous robots to remember past incidents, plan missions over longer time horizons, and adapt to disruptions without constant human supervision.

The financing follows early pilot deployments across logistics and infrastructure sites. With backing from deep tech specialists and experienced founders, the company aims to bridge the gap between academic research and the demands of scalable industrial automation.


From the founder

"Stateless systems treat every decision in isolation and cannot remember previous incidents or how work actually flows through a site. Stateful’s platform builds a persistent, shared model of tasks, environments and past behaviour that lets robots adapt to disruption and complete missions safely without constant supervision."

Investor perspective

"Robotics has moved from static arms, to mobile units in tightly controlled environments, and now into hybrid-human spaces like factories, hospitals and energy infrastructure. This progression demands a form of intelligence that can reason about changing context over time – not just react to a single camera frame or prompt. Stateful Robotics is tackling that challenge with a novel form of AI that can support mixed forms of robots that are genuinely useful in the industrial settings where mass commercial adoption is likely to happen first."
