Bleu Robotics raises €5 million to teach humanoid robots factory tasks

Paris-based Bleu Robotics has raised €5 million in pre-seed funding co-led by Contrarian Ventures and OVNI Capital, with Kvanted, WEPA Ventures, Motier Ventures and Charlie Songhurst participating. The startup builds robot-learning software: operators show a task with handheld grippers, and the system infers the goal and steps a humanoid robot should follow. The company says its approach can learn from as few as ten demonstrations; its goal is deployment in one hour or less, not an independently verified industry-wide result. Founded in December 2025 by Benoît Berkoukchi, Jean-Baptiste Mouret and Serena Ivaldi, it will use the funds to grow its team and expand industrial deployments.
