What Wandelbots does
Wandelbots is a Dresden-based robotics software company founded in 2017. Its NOVA operating system is robot-agnostic, letting manufacturers program, simulate and scale industrial robots across multiple vendors from a single software layer. NOVA Cloud connects this to an industrial robotics cloud, and a Physical AI loop (Sense, Think, Act, Improve) ties live production to digital-twin simulation.
Developer-first robotics
Wandelbots ships Python and TypeScript SDKs so engineers can write robot programs in familiar languages rather than vendor-specific tooling. The platform integrates with NVIDIA Isaac Sim for digital-twin simulation and is available through the Microsoft Azure Marketplace, with backing from investors tied to Microsoft and Siemens.
Funding
The company has raised roughly USD 123M. Its largest round, a USD 84M Series C in January 2022, was led by Insight Partners with 83North, Microsoft's M12, Siemens-linked Next47 and others. Pricing is license-based and quote-driven for industrial customers.
