Hexagon plans to raise its robotics investment from €24 million in 2025 to €50 million in 2026. The disclosure appears in the company’s 2026 Capital Markets Day release, which describes its Robotics Division as being in an investment phase.

What the €50 million figure represents

In its 2025 profitability bridge, Hexagon lists €24 million as in-year robotics costs within the EBITAC calculation. In the same release, the company says robotics investment will double from €24 million in 2025 to €50 million in 2026.

The release treats Robotics separately from Hexagon’s core financial targets. Hexagon says the division is excluded from its 2026–2030 targets and from the EBITAC calculation because its structure is evolving rapidly.

How Hexagon will report Robotics

Hexagon says it will disclose the division’s financial performance quarterly. Arnaud Robert, president of the Robotics Division, was listed among the presenters at the Capital Markets Day event.

Where the AEON pilots stand

Hexagon reports that AEON pilots with BMW, Schaeffler, Pilatus and Fill are underway. In the release, Hexagon frames AEON as a contender for global leadership in humanoid robotics. That is the company’s stated ambition; its separate operational disclosure is that the four named pilots are underway.
