Deus Robotics, a Ukranian warehouse robotic automation startup, has snapped $3 million in seed funding at a $20 million valuation. The round was led by U.Ventures with participation from 1991 Ventures, SID Venture Partners, Sigma Software Labs, and SD Capital.
This follows the recent invests in Serve Robotics and RoboForce.
With the new funding, Deus Robotics seeks to fine-tune its product and fuel robotic adoption across the warehouse industry, primarily in the UK. It will also boost the popularity of robotics for more logistics businesses.
Addresses gap in warehouse operations
The robotics market remains largely untapped, with early innovators poised to become trillion-dollar leaders. Deus Robotics was founded in 2019 by Pavlo Pikulin and Antonina Iermeichuk to address a critical challenge in warehouse operations. The company’s solution has already demonstrated its impact in real-world applications.
Headquartered in Kyiv, Ukraine, the company also has offices in the UK and the US. Deus Robotics boasts a team of skilled robotics professionals. In 2023, Deus Robotics raised $1.5 million in venture funding.
Automates warehouse operations
Deus Robotics offers a breakthrough technology that helps robots communicate with businesses and each other. With a focus on the warehouse industry, the company has developed a robotic automation solution that has been proven to boost warehouse productivity by 300%.
The solution consists of two key components. The first part is a unified AI platform designed to connect, manage, and optimise any type of robots used in warehouse automation. The second part is a fleet of AI robots from various manufacturers, covering the majority of warehouse automation needs. Unlike competitors that offer a single robot model for a specific use case or operation, Dues Robotics claims that it allows companies to select robots from any manufacturer and ensure they work together seamlessly.
In 2025, the company plans to focus on the UK warehouse market. It plans to go beyond the warehousing industry in the future. Its platform is not limited to warehouses; its versatility extends to a range of industries, tapping into the robotics market’s transformative potential.
Commenting on the investment, Andrew Sorohan, Venture Director of U.Ventures, said “Deus Robotics combines technical excellence with the kind of resilient execution that turns great technology into category-defining companies. We’re backing the company because they’re not just building robots — they are redefining robotic automation. Traditional robotic solutions are often too rigid or too complex to scale. By blending deep robotics and computer vision expertise, Deus Robotics has created a set of products that can be up and running in weeks, rather than months.”
“A 300% increase in efficiency is a highly compelling argument for embracing this innovation. We are impressed by the approach of Deus Robotics and firmly believe that the future lies in automating every potential bottleneck within the logistics chain”, commented Andrey Stavnitser, SD Capital Founding Partner.
Philipp Grushko, another SD Capital Founding Partner, added, “As veterans of Ukraine’s largest infrastructure port business, we have a profound understanding of the value of automating logistics operations. Engaging daily with real-world clients—ranging from large-scale enterprises to smaller warehouse service users—we grasp the advantages of the Deus Robotics system from the inside out.”
“Robots from different manufacturers often operate in silos, unable to communicate effectively. Our AI platform provides a unified system for integrating, managing, and optimising any type of robot. This empowers warehouses to effortlessly add or switch robots from any provider without incurring additional integration costs, resulting in a significant boost in operational efficiency,” added Pavlo Pikulin, founder and CEO of Deus Robotics.
