AI overview

Eka Robotics raised $150 million in a Series A round led by a16z and F-Prime, giving the company a $1.45 billion post-money valuation as it pilots its robotic manipulation technology in industrial settings. Its system combines a force-sensitive gripper with a vision-force-action model trained through reinforcement learning in simulation. Eka says the system successfully picks up objects more than 95% of the time. Industrial pilots cover pick-and-place tasks and wire manipulation, while the system’s durability and ability to handle a broader range of tasks remain open questions.
