A London startup focused on robotics training has secured £2m in new funding and is launching a free service for academic researchers.
Neuracore, founded in 2024, develops tools designed to make robot-learning infrastructure more widely accessible. The company provides robotics teams with data systems and technical frameworks intended to speed up the development and deployment of new robotic technologies.
Stephen James, Neuracore’s founder and CEO, said the goal is to cut down on duplicated effort across the industry. “We want to make high-performance robot-learning resources available to everyone, rather than having every team build the same systems from scratch,” he said.
The latest investment round, worth $3m (£2.26m), was led by Earlybird Venture Capital.
In addition to the funding, Neuracore is launching a no-cost academic programme that will give research groups access to its platform. Through the initiative, university teams will be able to store, analyse, and work with robotics data directly within Neuracore’s environment.
“With this round and the academic programme, we’re helping both commercial teams and researchers concentrate on pushing robotics forward instead of spending months creating data pipelines,” James said. “Researchers are laying the groundwork for the robotic systems of the future. Their time should go into innovation, not setting up infrastructure.”
The company plans to grant access to selected academic institutions initially, and researchers across the sector can now register for the waitlist.
