Paris-based Bleu Robotics raised a €5M pre-seed co-led by Contrarian Ventures and OVNI Capital, aiming to get humanoids running in factories in under an hour. Its "abductive learning" approach infers the goal behind an operator's demonstration and reproduces it, claiming as few as 10 demos per task and up to 100x better data efficiency. Founded by two Inria research directors and an ex-Renault assembly line manager. Context: Interact Analysis estimates only 10% of humanoids produced last year reached real-world applications.
