Robotics bets this month
On October 5, 2026, Teradyne announced a strategic investment in Bright Machines, a San Francisco maker of software-defined manufacturing lines for AI infrastructure, along with a plan to put Universal Robots cobots and Teradyne test systems into Bright Machines factories.1
A day later, Teradyne joined Multiply Labs' $75 million Series B as a new investor. Multiply Labs builds its cell therapy manufacturing clusters on Universal Robots arms.2,3
Both deals put money behind companies that already use or plan to use Teradyne's robots, so these are strategic positions as much as financial ones. Neither check size was published.1,2
