Teleo raised $16.2 million in Series A extension round to scale customer deployments of semi autonomous heavy equipment.
The funding will also be used to enhance Teleo’s AI capabilities and to expand into new industries beyond construction, such as airports, waste and recycling, logistics, and warehousing.
Teleo has announced new orders for 34 machines from nine new customers across industries like, pulp and paper, logging, port logistics, munition clearing, and agriculture.
Teleo’s autonomy retrofit kit transforms various types of heavy equipment into semi-autonomous and remotely-operated robots.
The approach allows one operator to oversee several machines working together from a central command center that can be situated nearby or thousands of miles away.
Teleo can retrofit bulldozers, wheel loaders, and excavators.
Supervised autonomy can offer a solution during labor shortages and can be used for repetitive and predictable tasks.
The company has a global dealer partner network that includes dealer partners in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, North Africa, and the Middle East.
Previous funding rounds raised $9.2 million in April 2024 and $7 million this week, both led by UP.Partners, Trousdale Ventures, F-Prime Capital, and Triatomic Capital.
Teleo has raised $29.8 million to date since its inception in 2019.
