#755Chris Paxton@CHRIS_J_PAXTONIncredible levels of funding for full stack robotics
underscore advait patel@_advaitpatelMind has raised an additional $400M, bringing our total funding to over $1 billion. We are building dexterous, general-purpose robots and foundation models for industrial deployment, starting with the automotive industry. I’m super excited and grateful to be working on these problems with such a stellar team. We are uniquely positioned to tackle the general-purpose robotics problem given our deep partnership with @Rivian, who is a shareholder and our pilot customer, and who is also providing us with data from production lines to add to our training mixture. It’s still super early days, and we’re hiring across research, software, hardware, and more! (Link below)
#1484Vikash Kumar@VIKASHPLUSDeployment data will be critical to mature robotics out of labs/ demo,
Strategic alignment between Mind- @Rivian yields them a strong positioning
@Tesla_Optimus-@Tesla also has such alignments.
@agilityrobotics should also have large deployment datasets. @chris_j_paxton?
