Stateful Robotics has raised £3.6 million in pre‑seed funding, led by Amadeus Capital Partners and Oxford Science Enterprises, with additional investment from Stan Boland (founder of Five, acquired by Bosch).

The round backs the company’s breakthrough in ‘stateful’ AI – a new approach to decision‑making software for physical robots that makes them safer, more adaptive and commercially viable in dynamic environments.

It aims to maintain a persistent, shared memory of tasks, environments and prior behaviour, allowing robots to plan over longer horizons and operate reliably without constant human intervention.
