Humble Robotics Raises $51 Million to Expand Autonomous Freight Technology

Humble Robotics Raises $51 Million to Expand Autonomous Freight Technology

Summary

Humble Robotics has raised $51 million in Series A funding led by Obvious Ventures, bringing its total capital to $75 million. The company, founded by Eyal Cohen, develops fully autonomous electric trucks designed specifically for freight operations rather than retrofitting existing vehicles. The new funding will support customer pilots starting in Q1 2027 and early manufacturing ahead of a planned commercial launch in Q3 2027. Humble targets regional routes under 250 miles, which account for approximately 87% of US truck tonnage, aiming to modernize commercial freight transportation through an integrated platform combining vision-first AI with specialized hardware.
