Singapore-based dConstruct Robotics closed a $125 million Series A funding round to advance spatial technology enabling autonomous robots to operate in GPS-denied environments.

The funding positions dConstruct Robotics to scale its core technology, which allows robots to navigate and operate independently in complex indoor and underground settings where GPS signals are unavailable. The company's spatial tech addresses a critical gap in autonomous systems deployment. Traditional robots rely heavily on GPS or pre-mapped environments, limiting their use in mines, tunnels, warehouses, and disaster zones. With the Series A capital, dConstruct plans to accelerate product development and expand its team. The funding validates growing market demand for autonomous solutions in GPS-denied settings across industrial, logistics, and search-and-rescue sectors. The Singapore-based startup joins a growing cohort of spatial computing firms attracting significant venture investment as industries seek more autonomous capabilities in challenging environments.
