The round was led by Extantia Capital, with Norrsken Evolve also participating. Motion plans to use the €1.7 million ($2 million) to convert five live pilots with Belgian industrial, warehouse and logistics clients into full production, expand its team and grow its robot fleet starting in the Benelux, aiming to deploy hundreds of humanoids across Europe within 12 months.

Founded in 2026, Motion claims to be Europe’s first Humanoids-as-a-Service (HaaS) platform. It offers an OEM-agnostic, AI-powered service that lets manufacturers deploy and run humanoid robots for a single monthly fee, covering everything from robot selection and training to financing, insurance and compliance.
