Czech startup RoboTwin is simplifying industrial automation with a no-code solution that lets workers teach robots new tasks: no programming required. By combining patented technology with AI and a user-first design, the company is making robotics accessible for manufacturers of all sizes. Following a successful EUR 1,25 million pre-seed funding round, RoboTwin is now scaling its technology to unlock automation across industries and geographies.

From human hands to robotic precision

The Prague-based deep-tech startup has created a tool that records a worker’s manual demonstration and instantly generates a robot programme to replicate the task. The system supports widely used robot arms from providers like FANUC, ABB, and YASKAWA, and is especially relevant in labour-intensive processes like spray painting, grinding, or assembly.

The result: robots that learn by example, not by code. And for manufacturers, this means lower integration costs, shorter setup times, and fewer barriers to adoption, even in smaller batch production.

Backed by investors and the industry

RoboTwin’s recent EUR 1,25 million pre-seed round includes support from BD Partners, Y Soft Ventures, EIT Manufacturing, and business angel Jörg Rupp. The funds will fuel team expansion and help bring RoboTwin’s solution to manufacturers across Europe and beyond. The company is hiring across robotics engineering, software development, and business development, preparing for broader deployment in markets like Canada, the US, Taiwan, and Mexico, where demand for no-code robot training is rising fast.

Industry-ready and research-driven

The startup also bridges research and real-world application. RoboTwin emerged from academic research by its co-founder Megi Mejdrechová and is now involved in ELLIOT, a Horizon Europe-funded project developing multimodal foundation models for trustworthy AI. In partnership with CIIRC CTU, RoboTwin contributes its practical robotics expertise to help shape the future of human-robot cooperation.

An institutional boost from EIT Manufacturing

EIT Manufacturing has followed RoboTwin’s journey since its early days, when the team won the EIT Jumpstarter competition. As part of the Investment Programmes, RoboTwin benefitted from both financial support and access to EIT Manufacturing’s growing network of partners and customers across Europe.

Teaching robots, enabling people

By focusing on human-centred, no-code robotics, RoboTwin is helping to reshape how automation is introduced on the factory floor, especially for small and medium-sized manufacturers that need flexibility without complexity. As manufacturing continues to evolve, RoboTwin offers a glimpse of the future: robotics made simple, scalable, and human-led.
