Rolo Robotics has successfully closed an oversubscribed seed funding round, raising US$3.4 million to advance its vision of transforming food retail through fully autonomous, staff-free kitchens. The startup plans to deploy 20 to 30 robotic kitchens in Singapore by 2026, with pilot projects already underway in universities, hospitals, and transport hubs. Expansion into Australia is expected in early 2026. Rolo’s innovative kiosks offer customizable, on-demand meals using advanced robotics and AI technology, providing a cost-effective solution in high-footfall areas. The company aims to address operational challenges in traditional food service with its modular, white-label platform, enabling restaurants to extend their reach into new markets. The recent funding will be used to scale production and enhance their technology, reinforcing Rolo’s position as a key player in the food robotics sector.
