California-based robotics company FieldAI said it has raised $405 million in two consecutive rounds from investors including Bezos Expeditions, Khosla Ventures, NVentures (NVIDIA’s venture capital arm) and Temasek.
Other investors who pooled in capital include BHP Ventures, Canaan Partners, Emerson Collective, Intel Capital and Prysm, it said in a statement. The latest funding round was oversubscribed, it added.
Previous investors include Gates Frontier and Samsung.
The fresh capital will help the company for global expansion, product development across locomotion and manipulation, and hiring. The company aims to double its headcount by the end of the year.
FieldAI was founded in 2023 by Ali Agha, who did his postdoctoral studies in robotics from Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Prior to starting FieldAI, he was associated with NASA for close to a decade. He earlier worked at Qualcomm Research.
The company's team include veterans in robotic AI from DeepMind, Google Brain, Tesla Autopilot, NASA JPL, SpaceX, Zoox, Cruise, Amazon, DARPA, TRI, and others, it said.
At the core of FieldAI’s platform are Field Foundation Models, which are designed from the ground up to grapple with uncertainty, risk, and the physical constraints of the real world, it explained.
“Enabling autonomy solutions at scale is an extremely difficult problem, but the deep expertise of the FieldAI team and their unique approach to embodied intelligence reflects a pragmatic path forward," said Vinod Khosla, founder of Khosla Ventures.
