Description

Motion1, a Brussels-based humanoid robotics company founded in 2026, has secured $2 million in pre-seed funding to scale its Humanoids-as-a-Service model across Europe. The round was led by Extantia Capital with participation from Norrsken Evolve. The company plans to convert five existing pilots with Belgian industrial companies into full production deployments and expand its robot fleet across the Benelux and broader European market. Motion1's subscription model removes operational barriers by handling data collection, robot training, IT integration, fleet management, and maintenance for industrial customers.
