Algorized Secures $13M in Series A Funding for Edge-Based Industrial AI Safety

Swiss-American startup Algorized has secured $13 million in Series A funding to advance its “Physical AI” platform, which gives robots a nervous system for safety and awareness. Algorized is pioneering an edge-native Predictive Safety Engine that uses signals from wireless sensors (like ultra-wideband radio and Wi-Fi) to detect human presence and predict human intent in real time on factory floors. The technology allows industrial robots and machines to operate at full speed around people without the frequent emergency stops required by traditional safety systems.

By analyzing micro-movements and vital signs via ambient sensors (rather than cameras alone), Algorized’s system can “see” through obstacles like walls or dust to prevent accidents with very low latency. The Series A round was led by Run Ventures with participation from Amazon’s Industrial Innovation Fund and Acrobator Ventures. After a debut at CES 2026 and initial deployments with partners like KUKA, Algorized will use the funding to expand installations in Europe and the U.S., further develop its intent-prediction AI models, and grow its engineering teams in Switzerland and Silicon Valley. The goal is to set a new safety standard for factories and warehouses, unlocking greater productivity by enabling truly human-aware robots.

• Startup: Algorized

• Investors: Run Ventures (lead), Amazon Industrial Innovation Fund, Acrobator Ventures, others

• Amount Raised: $13M

• Total Raised: $15M+ (incl. prior seed funding)
