Inbolt founders (L-R) Rudy Cohen, Albane Dersy and Louis Dumas announced the company's expansion to the U.S. and Japan markets.
Paris-based real-time robotic guidance provider Inbolt announced its expansion into the U.S and Japan.
The company plans to replicate its pre-established footprint in the European market, where it powers computer vision-aided robots at major manufacturers, including Stellantis, Renault, Volkswagen, Ford and Beko.
Powered by 3D vision and AI, Inbolt said its technology enables industrial robots, such as those from ABB, FANUC and Universal Robots, to perceive production lines and adapt to real-world changes in industrial environments, just as humans would.
Currently deployed in over 50 factories worldwide, Inbolt said it has powered more than 20 million robot cycles in the first half of 2025 alone. Inbolt partnered with FANUC at Automate 2025 in Detroit to showcase how the technologies aim to tackle assembly line automation.
“Manufacturers today don’t have the luxury of time. They need to launch new products quickly, respond to shifts in consumer demand overnight, and continue production without costly retooling. That level of agility starts with intelligent automation,” said Albane Dersey, co-founder and COO of Inbolt. “As we expand into the US and Japan, we’re partnering with manufacturers that see the strategic advantage in 3D vision and AI powering systems that evolve with demand, switch models in hours, and keep production moving.”
Backed by its $17 million Series A funding round in 2024, Inbolt said it is launching local teams in the U.S and Japan and starting a hiring drive for robotics application engineers to support its next phase of growth.
“Industrial robots that can see, think, and respond in real time are no longer optional - they’re essential,” Dersy said. “But this is just the beginning. Our vision is a fully autonomous factory floor, where operations run 24/7 with zero downtime. This future of dark factories, powered by intelligent vision systems, is within reach. Because to build a factory that never stops, you need machines that can truly see, and that’s what Inbolt has brought to the global stage.”
