Allonic Raises $7.2M for Automated Platform to Build Advanced Robot Parts

BUDAPEST, Hungary — Allonic, a robotics manufacturing startup founded in Hungary with a joint U.S. headquarters, has raised $7.2 million in pre-seed funding to develop an automated production platform aimed at speeding the manufacture of advanced robotic hardware.
Allonic is targeting what it calls the next bottleneck in robotics: the slow, often manual assembly of robot bodies made from hundreds of precision components. The company said that approach makes robots expensive, difficult to customize and challenging to scale.
The company’s production process, which it calls 3D Tissue Braiding, is designed to replace traditional assembly by forming robotic “tissues” in a continuous automated process. Allonic said the method weaves fibers over a skeletal core, creating tendons, joints and load-bearing structures without relying on large numbers of screws, cables and other conventional parts.
Allonic said its platform combines proprietary hardware and software that can translate high-level robotic designs into manufacturing instructions, similar to the way slicing software prepares 3D printing files. The company said multiple materials can be integrated into a single structure, allowing wiring and sensing elements to be embedded during production.
The company said the approach could reduce manufacturing time and cost while enabling manufacturers to design, produce and replace robotic components on demand.
Allonic said it completed a pilot project in electronics manufacturing and has seen interest from the humanoid robotics sector and consumer technology companies.
“A lot of attention is on intelligence and software, but hardware still holds many of the hardest problems,” said Benedek Tasi, Allonic’s co-founder and CEO.

Allonic said it has a team of 15 engineers and plans to use the new capital to accelerate development of its platform, expand engineering and operations, and support additional pilots and early commercial deployments with industrial partners.
The company said the pre-seed round was led by Visionaries Club with backing from Day One Capital. Allonic described the financing as the largest pre-seed round completed in Hungary to date.
