Abstract	The autonomous robotics sector presents unique funding challenges for startups, primarily due to its high capital demands and inherent market uncertainties. This paper delves into these challenges by systematically analyzing various funding strategies, encompassing both traditional models such as venture capital and private equity, and innovative approaches including crowdfunding and government grants. The research employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis of financial data with qualitative insights from industry interviews and case studies. Key findings reveal that a hybrid funding model, integrating venture capital with government incentives, emerges as the most viable option for fostering growth and sustainability in emerging autonomous robotics startups. These findings have significant implications for stakeholders seeking to navigate the complex financial landscape of this dynamic industry, offering a roadmap for effectively channeling resources into promising technologies and ensuring long-term industry advancement.
Keywords	Autonomous robotics, startups, funding strategies, venture capital, government grants, equity crowdfunding, corporate partnerships, revenue-based financing, technological innovation, financial challenges.
