Mind Robotics

Based in the US, Mind Robotics develops intelligent robotic solutions tailored for industrial applications, enhancing operational efficiency through advanced technology. Mind Robotics, founded in 2025 in Palo Alto, US, founded by RJ Scaringe specializes in robotics for industrial use. The company recently transitioned its focus to collaborative robots powered by Physical AI. In May 2026, Mind Robotics raised USD 400 million in venture funding led by Kleiner Perkins, with participation from Meritech Capital Partners, Redpoint Ventures, SV Angel, Incharge Capital Partners, A-Star Partners, Garuda Ventures, Andreessen Horowitz, Accel, Eclipse Ventures, Prysm Capital, Bain Capital, and Greenoaks Capital.

The founder's background includes previous entrepreneurial ventures, though specific details on prior companies are not provided. Mind Robotics focuses on developing advanced robotics solutions specifically designed for industrial applications. Their core offerings revolve around a collaborative robot platform that utilizes modern advancements in Physical AI to operate effectively within high-demand environments such as factory floors. These robots are engineered to perform a variety of tasks across manufacturing domains, emphasizing general intelligence rather than being restricted to single functions.

By partnering with Rivian, a leader in the automotive industry, Mind Robotics leverages real-time production data, allowing for continuous improvement and adaptation of their technology. This strategic alliance positions the company to serve clients primarily in North America, with potential expansion into other international markets as their technology matures. The revenue model for Mind Robotics is structured around strategic partnerships, primarily focusing on B2B transactions with manufacturing clients. Through their collaboration with Rivian, they establish a framework for scaling their robotics technology in active production environments, facilitating ongoing business transactions that incorporate both deployment and support services.

Their pricing plans accommodate various client needs, including upfront licensing fees for their robotics platform and ongoing service agreements. These transactions enable clients to integrate Mind Robotics’ solutions effectively into their operations, contributing to enhanced productivity and efficiency on the factory floor. The company will use the funding to scale deployment of its AI-powered robots in live manufacturing environments. With total investment now exceeding USD 1 billion, Mind Robotics is expanding its technology and product roadmap to automate dexterous, reasoning-intensive factory tasks at scale.

Rivian continues to serve as both a training data source and first deployment customer, providing a high-volume production environment for model iteration and real-world validation.
