Enigma raises $70M to make controlling a robot as easy as adjusting the volume
TechCrunch AI Marina Temkin
Enigma, a new robotics startup founded by two former Microsoft and Israeli cybersecurity researchers, raised $70 million to develop intuitive human-robot interfaces by studying how people naturally interact with machines. The company is launching a public experiment allowing anyone online to control over 100 proprietary robots in Israel and California performing tasks like painting and chemistry experiments. Enigma aims to make robot control as intuitive as turning a volume knob, shifting focus from pure model capability to interface design and human-centered interaction patterns.
