Hyperion Robotics, a construction technology company using physical AI, robotics and automated manufacturing to produce infrastructure components, secured $7.4 million in growth funding to expand robotic microfactories across Europe. The round was co-led by Course Corrected and the European Innovation Council Fund (EIC Fund), with participation from RE Ventures, Lifeline Ventures, Übermorgen Ventures and PC Rettig Impact & Co.
Transforming Infrastructure Production With Physical AI
Hyperion’s robotic microfactories produce infrastructure components up to three times faster, reduce costs by up to 50% and cut CO₂ emissions by up to 70% compared with traditional construction methods. Forge, Hyperion’s software platform, integrates design, structural engineering, code compliance, robotics and factory operations into a single system.
Fernando De los Rios, CEO of Hyperion Robotics, commented: “We’ve already built some of the most efficient concrete structures in the world. With this funding, we start delivering at scale, in factories built next to the projects they serve. Europe doesn’t have the time, the budget or the labour for construction to keep working the way it has. Physical AI is how we close that gap.”
Launching the First UK Microfactory
Hyperion’s first UK facility, Forge I, will launch in Flixborough near Scunthorpe in partnership with LKAB. Production will support energy, utilities, water, data centres and carbon capture projects while using up to 75% less material than traditional methods.
Expanding Across Europe
The funding will support the Forge I launch, further development of the Forge platform and expansion across European infrastructure markets. The round brings total capital raised to nearly $20 million as Hyperion moves toward industrial-scale production.
