Inbolt is a Paris-based physical-AI company building real-time vision guidance systems that let industrial robotic arms adapt to unstructured environments. Its flagship product, GuideNOW, pairs a 3D vision camera with AI models reported to be up to 100 times faster than competing solutions, allowing standard six-axis robots from Fanuc, ABB, Yaskawa, and Kuka to manipulate parts that move, tilt, or arrive in random positions without expensive jigs or hand-coded routines.
The company has deployed in more than 100 factory sites across automotive, electronics, and logistics in Europe, the United States, and Japan. Reference customers include Stellantis and other Tier-1 industrial groups. Typical use cases include screw-driving on moving conveyors, glue dispensing on irregular surfaces, and pick-and-place where parts are not jigged.
Inbolt was founded in 2019 by Rudy Cohen, Albane Dersy, and Louis Dumas, who met during the MSc X-HEC Entrepreneurs program and drew inspiration from time at UC Berkeley. The company is headquartered in Paris.
In September 2024 Inbolt closed a €15 million (~$16.4M) Series A led by Exor Ventures, the early-stage arm of the Agnelli family's Exor N.V., with existing investors MIG Capital, SOSV, BNP Paribas Développement, and Bpifrance participating. Repeat entrepreneur Yann Fleureau, founder of Cardiologs, also joined the round. Total funding stands at roughly €20 million.
Inbolt's differentiator is the combination of speed (low-latency vision suitable for moving production lines), brand-agnostic robot support, and a product that ships as an add-on rather than a full robot — making it deployable inside existing factory infrastructure.
