# microagi — Data and deployment infrastructure for embodied AI.

microagi deploys robots in industrial operations through Atlas, capturing customers' manual work, training task-specific models, and integrating suitable hardware. Its Shift marketplace gathers first-person human demonstration data for physical AI.

Legal name

MicroAGI GmbH

Legal domicile

United States

microagi’s legal entity is domiciled in United States, outside Europe — which is a bit uncool.

## Highlights

Notable milestones from microagi’s journey — funding rounds, launches, and other moments worth knowing.

Funding - Jul 2026

### $55M seed — Germany's largest

Hummingbird led the round, joined by Northzone, LocalGlobe, Village Global and redalpine. The funding is intended to scale Atlas across large industrial companies, roughly ten months after microagi was founded.

Launch - Jul 2026

### Atlas bridges robotics demos and live factory deployment

Atlas scopes factory tasks, captures how workers perform them, trains a suitable model, and integrates hardware without locking customers to one vendor. Its data engine had passed 100,000 hours of real-world work at launch.

**Atlas connects operational data, task-specific model training, and deployment on the factory floor.**

Launch - May 2026

### Shift turns free cleaning into robot-training data

Shift launched in New York with free professional apartment cleaning in exchange for first-person recordings from camera-wearing cleaners. The footage captures how people perform physical tasks and becomes training data for robotics and AI labs.

**Shift's capture hardware records physical work from the operator's point of view.**

Expansion - May 2026

### Zürich becomes the global robotics research hub

Eight months after starting in Munich, microagi opened a research headquarters at Bahnhofstrasse 63 and made Zürich the center of its global research programs. The company chose the city over San Francisco for its concentration of robotics talent and proximity to European industry.

Team - Jan 2025

### Formula 1 engineers start a robotics deployment company in Munich

microagi began with five people in a Munich hacker house, founded by engineers from Red Bull Racing and Mercedes-AMG Petronas. The team brought Formula 1's focus on reliable machines under pressure to the problem of deploying physical AI.
