Wandercraft, a maker of self-balancing robotic mobility techniques, has secured $75 million in funding to speed up AI-powered robotics.
This inflow of capital arrives throughout a time of speedy development, elevated international visibility, and product innovation in medical, shopper, and industrial robotics.
The Collection D spherical got here with main contributions from Renault Group, Bpifrance, the European Funding Financial institution, Teampact Ventures and Quadrant Administration.
The brand new funding will assist propel Wandercraft into its subsequent section of development: bringing Eve, the world’s first self-balancing private exoskeleton, to market as early as 2026; increasing medical adoption of its flagship rehabilitation system, Atalante X; and creating and deploying Calvin-40, its humanoid robotic.
“The momentum we’ve achieved over the past few years is extraordinary,” stated Matthieu Masselin, CEO of Wandercraft, in a press release. “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.”
Wandercraft’s Calvin-B strolling robotic.
Calvin-40 is an industrial-grade robotic meant for bodily demanding duties – set for manufacturing deployment inside 40 weeks at Renault factories. The primary humanoid robotic developed by a European firm, Calvin-40’s speedy improvement was made attainable through the use of Wandercraft’s current modern robotics platform, speedy improvement course of, and a collaboration with NVIDIA, leveraging their VLA (Visible Language Mannequin) and Jetson AI computing platform. The partnership with Renault lays the groundwork for cost-efficient scaling of Eve and the broader Calvin humanoid household.
Trying forward, the Collection D funding will speed up:
Industrial deployment of Eve, the non-public exoskeleton, in dwelling and out of doors environments.
A brand new section of development and help for Atalante X.
Industrial improvement and rollout of Calvin-40 and the broader Calvin humanoid household.
Wandercraft’s momentum comes from its dedication to restoring independence by way of self-balancing, hands-free robotic techniques that enable upright motion with out crutches or walkers.
The know-how is powered by AI and has been life-tested, refined by way of billions of simulations and tens of tens of millions of real-world steps.
The result’s a rising checklist of trade firsts and medical achievements: Scientific innovation, powered by AI; acquired its first FDA clearance for rehabilitation exoskeleton Atalante X for stroke; adopted by a second FDA clearance in lower than a 12 months, then increasing its use in U.S. hospitals and clinics; launched the world’s first medical trial of a self-balancing private exoskeleton, Eve, designed to assist people with extreme mobility impairments stroll hands-free at dwelling and of their communities; deployed Atalante X in additional than 100 hospitals and rehabilitation facilities globally, together with the Kessler Basis, the Villa Beretta Rehabilitation Analysis Innovation Institute, and Vivantes Klinikum Spandau and Schön Klinik.
Wandercraft was evaluated in additional than 20 medical research; key findings embrace significant enhancements in strolling velocity, steadiness, independence, and postural management – usually accompanied by notion of lowered ache, spasticity, and elevated muscle power. And it enabled 2,500 folks with mobility disabilities to take greater than 14 million steps thus far, rediscovering the liberty of upright motion as soon as thought-about out of attain.
The corporate additionally widened rehabilitation entry in New York. The corporate opened “Walk in New York by Wandercraft,” the primary stroll middle to supply common exoskeleton strolling classes for folks with mobility disabilities with circumstances resembling stroke, MS, Parkinson’s illness, and SCI.
The ability sits inside Remedy, a healthcare innovation campus in New York Metropolis, which additionally homes Wandercraft’s U.S. headquarters. The corporate intends to ascertain the middle as the primary regional hub for Eve’s deployment forward of its anticipated U.S. launch in 2026.
Product Innovation and Recognition

Wandercraft showcased private exoskeleton Eve on the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Torch Relay, symbolizing a brand new international commonplace in mobility know-how. It was additionally featured by Nvidia at CES 2025 and their annual know-how convention Nvidia GTC convention in March. Nvidia acknowledged Wandercraft’s use of Nvidia’s state-of-the-art know-how and bodily AI to allow autonomous, hands-free strolling.
Wandercraft is a robotics firm on a mission to revive mobility and develop what’s attainable by way of self-balancing, AI-powered techniques. Based in 2012, Wandercraft is globally acknowledged for creating the world’s first self-balancing strolling exoskeleton, Atalante X, which is utilized in greater than 100 rehabilitation facilities throughout 4 continents to help people with disabilities in taking greater than 1,000,000 steps every month. It has greater than 30 patents.
