UK robotics firm Humanoid has become a unicorn despite being founded just two years ago.

The London company raised $152 million (£114m) investment at a $1.35 billion valuation to become Europe’s first humanoid robotics unicorn.

It is the largest ever Series A investment into a humanoid-first robotics company in Europe.

The round brings the total amount raised to date to $270m and was led by Prime Movers Lab, with participation from Schaeffler, Bosch, Fubon Financial Holding Venture Capital and Aglaé Ventures.
