Ati Motors, a Bengaluru-based pioneer in AI and autonomous robotics, has secured USD 20 million in a Series B funding round led by Walden Catalyst Ventures and NGP Capital.

Other notable participants include True Ventures, Exfinity Venture Partners, Athera Venture Partners, and Blume Ventures.

This latest funding brings Ati Motors' total capital raised to over USD 37 million.

The fresh capital will bolster Ati Motors' efforts to accelerate the development and deployment of its cutting-edge robotic workforce.

This funding will also support product innovation, strengthen its foothold in North America and the Asia-Pacific region, and solidify its position as a leader in industrial automation.
