Executive Opinion

In TechCrunch report, Christian Piechnick, the CEO of Wandelbots, said, "The reversals regarding automation were caused by the inflexibility, complexity, and cost introduced by automation with robots. People are usually not aware that 75% of the total cost of ownership of a robot comes from software development. The problems introduced by robots were killing the benefit. This is exactly the problem we are tackling. We enable manufacturers to use robots with unseen flexibility, and we dramatically lower the cost of using robots. Our product enables non-programmers to easily teach a robot new tasks and thus, reduces the involvement of hard-to-find and costly programmers."

The round was backed by the 83North with participation from the Next47, M12 – Microsoft Venture fund, and prior investors EQT Ventures, Paua Ventures, and Atlantic Labs, as well as Alexander and Haniel (CEO of Celonis).
