We’ve been developing the vision of Instant Robot Learning at our lab for years, and it’s incredibly exciting to see it come to life as Machenta.

Amazing work by an amazing team. Congratulations to everyone involved, and excited to see what comes next!

Today we’re out of stealth, and we’ve raised a $40m seed round co-led by @creandum and @usv, to bring Instant Robot Learning to life.

For the past few months, we‘ve been busy building a new company.

Machenta.

This follows results from a new kind of robot foundation model we’ve built, which I’m so excited to share with you today!

Usually, it takes hours/days of data collection and training to teach a robot.

We’ve built a model that learns tasks instantly: one demonstration, no further training.

A model trained entirely in simulation, without a single pixel of real-world data.

A model where teaching robots is so quick and easy, it feels like physical vibe coding.

A model for robots that learn like humans do, from someone like you.

Welcome to the era of Instant Robot Learning.

Thank you @Kathi_Wilhelm, @rebeccakaden, @hkanji, @jonno_evans and all of our angels for your support!
