Automated Architecture
Total raised: $3.32M
London-based Automated Architecture (AUAR) has recently announced a significant milestone in its journey towards transforming the construction industry. With a Seed round of funding totaling nearly €3M, the company is poised to revolutionize the way sustainable, affordable homes are built using cutting-edge robotics technology.
AUAR's innovative approach involves the use of robotic micro-factories and software to streamline the construction process, lower upfront costs, boost productivity, and reduce project risks. By partnering with home builders in Europe and North America, AUAR aims to establish a distributed micro-factory network for sustainable timber housing, offering endless variations tailored to local sites.
The funding, led by deep-tech and AI fund Miles Ahead and Robotics & Automation Ventures, will enable AUAR to expand its partner network with 10 more partners, as well as ramp up operations in the US. The company is also actively hiring across its robotics, product, and marketing teams to support its growth and innovation.
Investors supporting AUAR include Rival Holdings, Morgan Stanley, Vandenbussche Group, Bacchus Venture Capital, and angel investors Nicolas Bearelle, Stefano Bernardi, and Dob Todorov. Luc Burgelman, Founding Partner at Miles Ahead, believes that AUAR's combination of licensed hardware and software has the potential to revolutionize the construction industry.
By re-imagining how robotic automation can be used in the construction process, AUAR is paving the way for faster, more cost-effective, and sustainable home building. The company's data model ensures transparency by providing clients and manufacturing partners with upfront knowledge of all costs and relevant data, setting a new standard for the industry.
With a vision to secure 40 license partners for their micro-factories by 2030, AUAR aims to produce over 75,000 energy-efficient homes annually and eliminate millions of tons of CO2 emissions per year. Co-founders Mollie Claypool and Gilles Retsin are leading the charge towards a decentralized approach to automation in the built environment, empowering local ecosystems to construct superior homes.
Through their expertise in robotics, generative design, and AI, Claypool and Retsin are driving a paradigm shift in construction and living standards. Their commitment to labor, material, and social sustainability is evident in their groundbreaking work, which promises to deliver high-quality, affordable homes at scale.
As AUAR continues to push the boundaries of innovation in the construction industry, the future of sustainable housing looks brighter than ever. With €3M in funding and a team of visionary leaders at the helm, AUAR is poised to redefine the way homes are built, setting a new standard for excellence and sustainability in the built environment.
