Tacta Systems, a robotics company developing dextrous intelligence to give robots human-level tactile skills and spatial awareness, announced $75 million in funding to advance the development of robotic solutions capable of performing complex and human-like tasks.
This funding included a previously undisclosed $11 million seed round, led by Matter Venture Partners, along with a $64 million Series A round led by America’s Frontier Fund and SBVA, with participation from Matter Venture Partners, B Capital, EDBI, Sojitz Corporation, CDIB-TEN Capital, Yazaki Innovations Inc., B5 Capital, Tyche Partners, and Woven Capital.
How Tacta works: Tacta’s breakthrough lies in its proprietary combination of software, hardware and AI advances, along with its development of Dextrous Intelligence. And as a smart nervous system, Dextrous Intelligence allows robots to sense, adapt, and manipulate the physical world with human-like precision and speed.
KEY QUOTES:
“Enabling machines to solve complex, physical world problems is the next frontier in robotics technology. AI models have become incredibly sophisticated in working with text and video, but much of the physical world remains incomprehensible to them. We’re incredibly excited about the disruptive technology that we’re developing, which will ultimately help humanity automate much of the drudgery of factory work and grueling physical labor.”
Andreas Bibl, Co-founder and CEO of Tacta Systems
“Tacta is led by one of the most seasoned and accomplished Hard Tech entrepreneurs that I’ve ever seen. The technology that they’ve developed in the last year-and-a-half is game-changing, and will prove incredibly valuable to both robotics and the world in the coming years. My firm and I are proud to have backed them from the very beginning.”
Wen Hsieh, Founding Managing Partner at Matter Venture Partners
