Paris-Based Inbolt Raises €11 Million to Give Industrial Robots Real-Time Vision and Intelligence

Paris-based Inbolt has raised €11 million in fresh funding to accelerate its international expansion and bring real-time vision and intelligence to industrial robots. The round was led by new investor Shift4Good, with participation from Bridges Climate Transition Partners and existing investors BNP Paribas Développement and Ora Global, bringing Inbolt’s total funding to €30 million.

Founded in 2019 by Rudy Cohen, Albane Dersy and Louis Dumas, Inbolt develops AI-powered 3D vision technology that allows industrial robots to perceive their surroundings and adapt their movements in real time. Cohen serves as CEO, Dersy as COO and Dumas as CTO.

The company is addressing a longstanding limitation in industrial automation. Conventional robots can struggle when parts are misaligned, tools wear down or conditions on a production line change. Inbolt combines 3D vision with a hardware-agnostic AI software layer that enables robots to understand their environment and adjust their control loops in real time. The technology can be installed on both new and existing production lines, allowing manufacturers to upgrade automation without replacing their existing robot infrastructure.

Inbolt’s platform works with major industrial robot manufacturers including FANUC, ABB, KUKA, Yaskawa, Comau and Universal Robots. The company says its technology is now deployed on more than 200 robots across over 100 factories on three continents, with customers including Bosch, Beko, Flex, Ford, Stellantis and Toyota.

The platform is designed around a CAD-trained AI vision model and robot-mounted 3D cameras. Inbolt says its system can identify the position and orientation of parts in under 80 milliseconds and provide corrected motion to the robot controller. Its latest platform is also designed to support both stationary and moving production lines, extending automation to processes that traditionally require rigid fixtures and infrastructure.

The new funding will support Inbolt’s expansion in the United States, where the company opened a Detroit office in 2026, as well as growth across the Asia-Pacific region. The company also plans to enter two new markets, data centres and electronics manufacturing, while continuing to commercialise its technology across industrial manufacturing.

With its combination of AI, 3D vision and hardware-agnostic robot control, Inbolt is positioning its technology as an intelligence layer that can make existing industrial automation more flexible and responsive as manufacturers expand the use of robotics.
