Paris based Bleu Robotics raised €5 million to build humanoid robots that it says can learn factory tasks in 20 minutes.

Bleu Robotics raised €5 million, about $5.6 million, in a pre-seed round, Dealroom reports, citing Sifted. The Paris based startup says its industrial humanoid robots can be deployed on factory lines in less than an hour.

Contrarian Ventures and OVNI Capital led the round. The company targets manufacturers that want to automate repetitive factory jobs.

The company says each robot can learn a task in 20 minutes. Its system is intended to reduce the integration time for factory automation, which can otherwise take months.

The round comes as European investors back industrial humanoid startups early, after Humanoid raised a $152 million Series A in July 2026.
