October 28, 2025 – Augmentus, a Singapore-based developer of AI-powered robotics software, has recently announced that it has received a strategic investment from Applied Ventures, LLC, the venture capital arm of Applied Materials, Inc. The investment aims to accelerate the deployment of adaptive robotics solutions for high-mix, high-variability manufacturing environments.
Augmentus’ core technology, the AutoPath robotics stack, integrates advanced 3D vision and adaptive intelligence to enhance the perception and decision-making capabilities of industrial robots. The system generates detailed point clouds to capture complex geometries and surface deviations, empowering robots with spatial intelligence and enabling them to dynamically adjust their motion paths in real time. This approach is designed to improve accuracy and flexibility in settings where production requirements frequently change.
The company stated that this convergence of perception and cognition “creates a no-code intelligence layer,” and eliminates the need for expert programming and manual robot teaching. According to Augmentus, this allows manufacturers to deploy and reconfigure robotic systems within minutes, supporting faster adaptation to shifting production demands, and transforming robots from fixed, pre-programmed machines into adaptive tools capable of responding to real-world variability.
“Our vision is to enable factories to adapt as quickly as the world changes,” said Daryl Lim, Co-Founder & CEO of Augmentus. “With the support of Applied Ventures, we are accelerating toward a future where robots can truly see, understand, and act — bringing agility, precision, and resilience to global manufacturing.”
“At Applied Ventures, we invest in innovative companies that are driving breakthroughs in AI, automation and advanced manufacturing,” said Abhishek Sud, Senior Investment Director at Applied Ventures, LLC. “Our investment in Augmentus underscores the rising importance of adaptive robotics in enabling efficiency and resilience in a rapidly evolving industrial landscape.”
Augmentus stated that its solutions are currently deployed across sectors including aerospace, automotive, energy, and heavy industries, supporting manufacturers in automating complex processes.
Financial terms of the investment were not disclosed in the announcement. For more information on Augmentus and its AI-powered robotics software for adaptive manufacturing, please visit the company’s website.
