Eka Robotics may be the first robotic arm that is actually good at picking a wide range of objects up, and it is so smooth and human-like, it is wowing the industry.
Eka Robotics earned $150 million in a Series A round that raised its valuation to $1.45 billion, according to TechCrunch. Its bet combines a force-sensitive clamp with a model trained through simulations, although the company still has to demonstrate that it can sustain its performance in industrial environments.
