Luxembourg’s R3 Robotics Lands €20M to Power EV Recycling Tech

Luxembourg-based robotics firm R3 Robotics has raised €20 million in new financing to expand its AI-driven technology that automatically disassembles electric vehicle (EV) systems. The funding includes a €14 million Series A led by HG Ventures and Suma Capital, alongside €6 million in European grants, to scale its robotic platform beyond battery packs to full EV drivetrains and power electronics.

The company, formerly known as Circu Li-ion, uses artificial intelligence and robotics to safely and efficiently take apart high-voltage EV components that are complex and hazardous for people to handle. This automation helps accelerate recycling and reuse of valuable materials as more EVs reach the end of their lifespan. 

R3 Robotics is collaborating with recyclers and automakers and plans to expand operations in Germany and France while preparing for a U.S. market entry in 2026. 

The funding and new technology rollout come as European regulations push for higher recycling rates and stronger domestic supply chains for critical materials used in clean-tech industries.
