Luxonis raises $14M for physical AI perception systems
Luxonis has closed a $14 million Series A funding round to scale production of its OAK camera systems and accelerate commercial growth in the physical AI market. The Denver-based company plans to use the capital to expand supply chain capacity, advance its product roadmap, and meet rising demand for robotic vision platforms that combine sensors, on-device computation, and open-source software.
Funding details and investor support
Denali Growth Partners led the round, with participation from Taiwania Capital. The investment marks Luxonis’ first institutional funding after seven years of bootstrapped growth. Bradley Dillon, CEO of Luxonis, said the new board members bring valuable experience to help the company scale operations as it enables machines to handle physical labor through human-like perception.
Alec Douglas, principal at Denali Growth Partners, expressed enthusiasm for supporting Luxonis’ diverse customer base, which ranges from individual developers to more than 60 Fortune 500 companies and 17 of the Dow Jones 30. Richard Wang, managing partner at Taiwania Capital, highlighted Luxonis’ ability to combine AI engineering from Central and Eastern Europe with Taiwan’s manufacturing strengths and a U.S.-based go-to-market strategy.
Expanding the perception platform
Founded in 2019 after a successful Kickstarter campaign, Luxonis builds the perception layer for robots and automated systems. Its OAK devices integrate multiple vision sensors and on-device processing into a single unit. The open-source DepthAI software development kit (SDK), which facilitates depth perception and on-device AI, has reached 6 million downloads.
In December 2025, the company launched its OAK4 cloud perception ecosystem. The modular OAK4-CS smart camera is suited for industrial applications such as barcode inspection on conveyor lines and microscopy. Luxonis recently announced official support for its cameras in NVIDIA Isaac Sim and confirmed that OAK4 supports both USB-C-only and Power over Ethernet (PoE+) deployments.
Growth plans and next-generation AI
With the new funding, Luxonis aims to expand its research and development, go-to-market, and engineering-support teams to work directly with customers on production deployments. The company also plans to introduce new devices at accessible price points and in flexible form factors for industries including agriculture, advanced robotics, defense, industrial automation, heavy machinery, medtech, and warehousing.
Luxonis said the capital will support next-generation AI architectures to maintain its leadership in edge AI. The platform is designed for ease of adoption, enabling customers to move quickly from prototype to production. The company operates facilities worldwide and continues to scale its engineering workforce to serve a growing global customer base.
