## About

Founded in 2024 and based in California, US, Trener Robotics, formerly known as T-robotics FPC, Inc. specializes in providing intuitive robotic solutions tailored for manufacturing. Asad Tirmizi and Lars Tingelstad (CTO) are the co-founders of the company. In December 2024, T-robotics FPC, Inc. raised USD 5.4 million in seed funding co-led by Emergent Ventures and Engine Ventures, including Berkeley SkyDeck Fund and Raisewell Ventures. In February 2026, Trener Robotics raised USD 32 million in series A funding co-led by Engine Ventures and IAG Capital Partners, with participation from Cadence, Geodesic Capital, Radius Ventures, Shanda Capital, Fitz Gate Ventures, Emergent Ventures and Raisewell Ventures.

The company's core offerings include natural language programming and AI-driven robotics, which allow users to easily configure robots, machines, and PLCs without the complexities of conventional coding. The firm’s products are designed to automate various material handling tasks, including loading, unloading, and transferring parts across industrial machine operations such as injection molding, milling, and grinding. T-robotics serves a diverse client base across multiple sectors, enabling high-mix, low-volume manufacturing processes.

T-robotics generates revenue through a combination of direct sales, strategic partnerships, and subscription-based services. The company’s business model primarily focuses on B2B transactions, where clients such as OEMs and system integrators purchase their robotic solutions and associated programming tools.

The organization plans to use the February 2026 funding to expand research and development for its agent-based robotics platform, train additional robot skills, hire staff globally, and grow its partner and market reach.
