LEBO ROBOTICS Secures Series B Funding
LEBO ROBOTICS, a Japanese robotics company founded in 2018, has raised a Series B round. The funding was announced on September 30, 2026. The round includes participation from Abies Ventures and Aizawa Asset Management (あいざわアセットマネジメント). The specific funding amount and lead investor were not disclosed.
What LEBO ROBOTICS Does
LEBO ROBOTICS automates the inspection and repair of wind-turbine blades. Its in-house blade-maintenance robot attaches to a blade to grind, clean, and recoat damaged areas. The company pairs this robot with AI analysis of images from drones and ground cameras, as well as proprietary repair materials such as adhesives and coatings. This combination offers wind-farm operators a one-stop maintenance service.
Traction and Operations
The company reports AI-based inspection of more than 1,000 turbines in Japan. It also provides commercial robot services at operating wind farms. LEBO ROBOTICS is developing fully autonomous robot operation as it prepares to expand into Europe and the US.
Market Context
Wind-turbine blade maintenance is a critical and challenging task, often requiring manual inspection and repair at height. LEBO ROBOTICS' approach aims to improve safety, efficiency, and consistency. The company's integrated offering—robot, AI analysis, and proprietary materials—positions it as a comprehensive solution for wind-farm operators.
