Genesis AI, a robotics software startup, has emerged from stealth mode with a $105 million seed funding round co-led by Eclipse Ventures and Khosla Ventures. The company focuses on developing AI models for robots by generating its own synthetic data to train these models. The funding round includes both U.S. and Chinese investors, which is notable given the current geopolitical tensions affecting the technology sector. Genesis AI aims to build a universal robot foundation model and an AI platform to advance robotic capabilities. This development aligns with broader efforts in the AI field, such as grants awarded by the MIT Generative AI Impact Consortium to researchers working on interdisciplinary applications of generative AI to enhance human work, creativity, and wellbeing.
