# What robotic company did Nvidia invest in?

**Yes. On DEPLOY's record, Nvidia has backed at least 16 robotics and physical AI companies.** Through its venture arm NVentures and strategic corporate rounds, Nvidia has joined funding for makers including Figure AI, Skild AI, Wayve, Nuro, Serve Robotics, Field AI, and NEURA Robotics. Every round below is dated and sourced. The dollar figures are total round sizes, not Nvidia's individual check, which is not disclosed.

## Short answer

Nvidia is one of the most active strategic backers of physical AI, and DEPLOY tracks its investments as edges in the investor graph rather than as prose. On DEPLOY's record, Nvidia, through its venture arm NVentures and its strategic corporate investments, has joined funding rounds for at least 16 robotics and physical AI companies. The makers span humanoids (Figure AI, Skild AI, NEURA Robotics, Generalist AI, Dyna Robotics), self-driving and robotaxi (Wayve, Nuro, Waabi, WeRide, Serve Robotics), field and industrial robotics (Field AI, Vention, Carbon Robotics), drones (Skydio), and surgical robotics (Neocis). Each row in the table below is a single funding round Nvidia participated in, dated and linked to its source. One honesty note runs through the whole page: the dollar figure on each round is the total size of that round, not Nvidia's own check. Nvidia's individual stake in these rounds is not disclosed, so DEPLOY reports the round size and attributes it, and never sums it into a claim that Nvidia invested a particular total. Where a round's amount is not on record, the page says so rather than guessing.

## Common questions

### What robotics companies has Nvidia invested in?

On DEPLOY's record, Nvidia has backed at least 16 robotics and physical AI companies through its venture arm NVentures and strategic corporate rounds. They include Figure AI, Skild AI, NEURA Robotics, Generalist AI, Dyna Robotics, Wayve, Nuro, Waabi, WeRide, Serve Robotics, Field AI, Vention, Carbon Robotics, Skydio, Hark, and Neocis. Each investment is a dated, sourced funding round in the table on this page.

### Did Nvidia invest in Figure AI?

Yes. On DEPLOY's record Nvidia joined Figure AI's Series B in February 2024, a round reported at $675 million, and its Series C in September 2025, a round reported at $1 billion. Both figures are the total round sizes, not Nvidia's individual stake, which is not disclosed. Each round is sourced on this page.

### How much has Nvidia invested in robotics?

DEPLOY does not have Nvidia's individual check sizes on record, because they are not publicly disclosed for these rounds. What DEPLOY holds is each funding round Nvidia participated in, with the total size of that round. The page reports those round sizes and attributes them, and never sums them into a single figure for what Nvidia itself invested.

### Does Nvidia own any of these robotics companies?

Not on DEPLOY's record. These are minority venture and strategic investments in funding rounds, not acquisitions, so Nvidia holds a stake rather than ownership. DEPLOY tracks each as an investor participation in a round, with Nvidia's role in that round labelled as strategic investor, participant, or lead. No acquisition of these makers by Nvidia is on record.

### What is NVentures?

NVentures is Nvidia's corporate venture arm, the investor entity behind most of the robotics rounds on this page. DEPLOY tracks it as a strategic corporate investor linked to Nvidia, and catalogues each funding round it joined as an edge in the investor graph. Nvidia also appears directly as a strategic investor on some rounds, and DEPLOY unions both so each round is counted once.
