Academy Of Robotics secures £795k to scale autonomous delivery technology

Developing autonomous delivery vehicles for large-scale logistics, Norwich-based Academy Of Robotics Limited has secured an estimated £795.6k in new funding. The company specializes in creating technology to automate repetitive tasks through driverless delivery vehicles and robotics kits.

Founded in 2014, Academy Of Robotics focuses on the intersection of machine learning and mechatronics. Its primary products include task-specific artificial intelligence and self-adapting machines designed for complex logistics environments. The company's technology is utilized by large organizations, including the Royal Air Force and hospitals, to implement automated logistics systems.

The latest funding round of £795.6k follows several years of field testing. Academy Of Robotics launched some of the first self-driving cars in Europe in 2020 and has been testing its autonomous vehicles on UK roads since that time. The company's technical team consists of engineers, scientists, and researchers focused on vision systems and deep learning.

Financial records show the company maintains a small core team, with latest accounts listing two employees, while LinkedIn data indicates a total headcount of seven. The business is headquartered in Norfolk and operates within the motor vehicle manufacturing and software development sectors.

Documentation for this capital increase was filed in May 2026, following an allotment of shares in February 2026. This round provides additional capital as the company continues to develop its autonomous vehicle technology and vision systems for the UK market.
