Tangent Robotics: Funding, Investors & Team (Oct 2026)

The hardest unsolved problem in robotics isn't perception or locomotion, it's dexterity. Tangent Robotics develops the technology that gives machines the ability to manipulate and interact with the physical world the way human hands do. Our work integrates hardware, tactile sensing, and AI into a single system, unlocking autonomy on tasks that were previously out of reach for traditional robotics.

About FundedIQ's Tangent Robotics Funding Data

FundedIQ tracks announced funding rounds and refreshes this profile every week. Round dates, stages and amounts are normalised to a single format, converted to US dollars, and de-duplicated: two records of the same round announced days apart are merged, and two genuinely different rounds are kept apart on the amounts they disclose. Amounts shown are the disclosed figures only — a round announced without a number is listed and excluded from the total rather than estimated.

Employee counts are reported bands, not exact headcounts. Founder and executive names carry the job title on record. Anything we do not hold for Tangent Robotics is left off this page rather than filled in.
