Wandercraft Secures $75M Series D to Scale AI-Powered Humanoids & Exoskeletons
Paris-based Wandercraft, known for its self-balancing robotics, has raised $75 million in a Series D funding round announced June 11, 2025. The cash infusion, led by Renault Group and supported by Bpifrance, the European Investment Bank, Teampact Ventures, and Quadrant Management, aims to accelerate development of its AI-enhanced humanoid robots and wearable exoskeletons.
Three-Pronged Growth Strategy
Eve exoskeleton: Wandercraft’s first personal, self-balancing exoskeleton, designed for independent hands-free walking at home or outdoors. It’s slated for market launch as early as 2026.
Atalante X rehab system: Already deployed in over 100 hospitals and clinics, including the Kessler Foundation, this system has received dual FDA clearances. The new funds will support broader global rollout.
Calvin‑40 humanoid: A European-developed industrial robot, created in just 40 days. It’s built for deployment in factory settings—Renault itself is a pilot customer. Production-ready Calvin humanoids aim for integration on manufacturing floors within 40 weeks.
Why It Matters
Blurring lines between wearables and robots: Wandercraft demonstrates how the same AI mobility platform supports both rehabilitation exoskeletons and industrial humanoids.
AI at the edge: Billions of simulations feed advanced AI controls—especially critical for dynamic balance tasks in exoskeletons and bipedal factory robots.
Strategic industrial partnerships: Backing from Renault brings vital manufacturing expertise and potential for large-scale rollouts in automotive factories.
What’s Ahead
2026 market launch of Eve aims to bring autonomy to individuals with limited mobility.
Atalante X continues expanding clinical reach, bolstered by recent regulatory approvals.
Calvin‑40 and its siblings could unlock a new era of humanoid utility on the factory floor—if reliability and cost targets are met.
AI-enabled, self-balancing systems are crossing from clinical and research labs into everyday use and industrial work.
