Eka Robotics raises $150M Series A at $1.45B valuation for force-sensitive physical AI manipulation model
Eka Robotics, founded by MIT professor Pulkit Agrawal and former Google DeepMind researcher Tuomas Haarnoja, closed a $150 million Series A at a $1.45 billion post-money valuation, led by a16z and F-Prime. The company has built a robotic manipulation system pairing a force-sensitive gripper with a vision-force-action model, trained through reinforcement learning in physics simulation. Eka says the robot picks about 1,500 objects of up to 1 kg per hour, versus roughly 600 for a human, with over 95% reliability. It is running secretive pilots with industrial customers on pick-and-place and wire handling. This is business and funding news with no cybersecurity incident, vulnerability or threat activity described.
