Enigma raises $71M to develop foundation models for robots
SiliconANGLE 1 month ago 34 ● 2 sources
Enigma, a robotics AI startup founded by former cybersecurity researchers, secured $71 million in seed funding led by Index Ventures and Ribbit Capital to develop foundation models that reduce the training data required to deploy robots across different environments. The company's models can be adapted to new robots with significantly less video footage than traditional approaches, addressing a key cost barrier in robotics AI where collecting task demonstrations typically requires expensive mock production setups. This capability enables faster and cheaper robot deployment while Enigma builds out its interface platform and recruits engineering talent to scale its models across diverse robotic hardware.
