Robotics software startup Kinematic Trees has raised £585k in pre-seed funding to scale its nature-inspired, robot-agnostic technology.
Founded in 2025, Kinematic Trees works with robotics providers to develop integrated solutions for their customers, helps manufacturers bring advanced robotics products to market, and allows new developers to commercialise robotics software assets.
The new funding will be used to build the firm’s commercial, robotics and software engineering teams in the UK across London, Nottinghamshire and Sheffield in line with product development, international deployment and advancements in the robotics industry.
The pre-seed investment comes from Haatch across its SEIS Fund, D2N2 Early-Stage Angel Investment Fund, and British Business Bank Syndicate Fund.
“Advances in sensors, motors and AI are now bringing robotics to people and businesses at exceptionally low cost,” says Stuart Wilson, CEO at Kinematic Trees.
“We’re providing the intelligence layer to make those robots useful, inherently safe and – perhaps most importantly – customisable. Robots should be able to do whatever we want them to, rather than what any particular company thinks we might want them to.”
Later this year, Kinematic Trees plans to announce partnerships for first customer factory deployments, advance commercial opportunities with software developers and robotics and automation providers, make major commercial and engineering appointments, and progress academic conversations with contemporaries from international technology institutes and centres of excellence.
