▸Notes & methodology
This is a curated set of marquee rounds — one row per company, not a complete deal universe, so treat the roll-up totals as "within this set," never as a market figure (real robotics VC was ~$14B across ~1,000 deals in 2025; a couple of mega-rounds swing our totals). Step-up (post-money vs the prior priced round) is the honest read on momentum — a 1.0–1.5× step-up after a long gap can signal a soft round even when the headline valuation looks big.
