Berlin/Potsdam-based robotics startup sensmore has raised $7.3 million in funding to accelerate the global rollout of Physical AI for the world’s largest fleets of mobile machinery.
As Europe’s core industries face increasing pressure from labor shortages and rising operational costs, sensmore is delivering transformational automation solutions tailored for high-impact sectors such as construction, mining, and raw materials. Built to perform in real-world conditions, the company’s technology is robust, scalable, and modular—designed specifically for the field.
sensmore is leading a new wave of intelligent automation by applying Physical AI at fleet scale, supporting the reindustrialisation of Europe. Industry giants like CEMEX and Lhoist are already seeing measurable benefits from full-scale deployments in some of the continent’s largest quarry operations. For the first time in heavy machinery, sensmore has integrated end-to-end AI with Vision-Language-Action Models (VLAMs), enabling machines to perform complex tasks without prior training or pre-programming.
The funding round was led by Point Nine Capital, with participation from a group of international investors, angel backers, and additional support from the European Union.
“Like Figure AI does for humanoids, we use a multimodal system that combines vision, language, and action context to solve complex real-world tasks—even ones the machine has never encountered before,” said Bjarne Johannsen, CTO and co-founder of sensmore.
Ricardo Sequerra Amram, Partner at Point Nine, added: “sensmore is pioneering a new era of intelligent automation for heavy machines. What sets them apart is their ability to translate cutting-edge AI research into robust, modular solutions that work in the field today. Their deep customer collaboration and exceptional technical team are laying the foundation for a new wave of reindustrialisation across mining, construction, and beyond.”
