4.8 million for a software-only robotics startup?

This week we chose an article from one of our favorite sources of robotics news: the Robot Report. The article: Roboto AI raises $4.8M to build data tools for robotics developers got our attention for a few reasons. Firstly, that’s a large sum to raise for a seed round. Second, their core offer might represent new trends in the robotics industry. Finally, the product has the potential, in conjunction with other related technologies, to increase the pace of robotics entrepreneurship.
