Wandercraft, a maker of self-balancing robotic mobility systems, has secured $75 million in funding to accelerate AI-powered robotics.
This influx of capital arrives during a time of rapid growth, increased global visibility, and product innovation in clinical, consumer, and industrial robotics.
The Series D round came with major contributions from Renault Group, Bpifrance, the European Investment Bank, Teampact Ventures and Quadrant Management.
The new funding will help propel Wandercraft into its next phase of growth: bringing Eve, the world’s first self-balancing personal exoskeleton, to market as early as 2026; expanding clinical adoption of its flagship rehabilitation system, Atalante X; and developing and deploying Calvin-40, its humanoid robot.
“The momentum we’ve achieved over the past few years is extraordinary,” said Matthieu Masselin, CEO of Wandercraft, in a statement. “We’ve expanded globally, launched pivotal clinical trials, readied the commercialization of Eve, our personal exoskeleton, and entered a landmark partnership with Renault. This funding allows us to continue our mission of transforming how people live, move, and work across rehabilitation, home environments, and soon on factory floors.”

The news comes off the back of Wandercraft’s announcement with Renault Group, whereby the car manufacturer now has a minority stake ownership and a strategic partnership with Wandercraft. The partnership brings Renault Group’s industrial expertise to scale up production of Wandercraft’s exoskeletons and industrial robots. Renault is Wandercraft’s first commercial partner and customer of Calvin-40, named for its development time of just 40 days.
Calvin-40 is an industrial-grade robot intended for physically demanding tasks – set for production deployment within 40 weeks at Renault factories. The first humanoid robot developed by a European company, Calvin-40’s speedy development was made possible by using Wandercraft’s existing leading-edge robotics platform, rapid development process, and a collaboration with NVIDIA, leveraging their VLA (Visual Language Model) and Jetson AI computing platform. The partnership with Renault lays the groundwork for cost-efficient scaling of Eve and the broader Calvin humanoid family.
Looking ahead, the Series D funding will accelerate:
Commercial deployment of Eve, the personal exoskeleton, in home and outdoor environments.
