GITAI, a space robotics company based in Japan, has brought in 4 billion yen, around $28.5 million, in a Series B extension round of funding. GITAI plans to use the funding to expand its business and technology development in the US.  The company hopes the round will help it to enhance the technology readiness level of GITAI’s Robotic Rover and Lunar Inchworm Type Robotic Arm, expand its engineering model/flight model manufacturing facilities in the US, and expand employment in the US.  GITAI’s Lunar Inchworm Type robot is a robotic arm with grapple end-effectors on both ends of the arm. The grapple end-effectors are GITAI’s proprietary technology that allows the end of robotic arms to be interchangeable. This allows users to connect various tools to the robot to perform multiple tasks and allows the arm to move autonomously if it has an end effector at both ends of the arm. GITAI’s Lunar Rover combines high-performance capabilities with affordability. It can aid in constr...

Serve Robotics , a robotic sidewalk delivery company, has given more insight into the scope of its partnership with Uber Technologies , which was announced in November 2021. Serve and Uber’s commercial agreement allows for Serve to deploy its robots on Uber Eats in multiple markets across the US, with up to 2,000 Serve robots to be deployed.  “We are thrilled to be growing our partnership with Uber,” Dr. Ali Kashani, co-founder and CEO of Serve Robotics, said. “This partnership is a major step towards mass commercialization of robotics for autonomous delivery, and it is a testament to the success of our partnership. We are excited to continue our work with Uber to bring this innovative technology to more cities across the country.” Serve’s robotic deliveries have grown 30% month over month since it started deliveries in 2022 , and over 200 restaurants in Los Angeles, where the robots were first deployed with Uber, are now participating.  Serve’s delivery robots navigate th...

NVIDIA’s founder and CEO Jensen Huang unveiled a number of new projects from the company in his first in-person keynote in almost four years. NVIDIA’s latest innovations aim to ride the wave of generative AI advancements made in recent months.  “We’re now at the tipping point of a new computing era with accelerated computing and AI that’s been embraced by almost every computing and cloud company in the world,” Huang said at the conference. Huang also noted that 40,000 large companies and 15,000 startups now use NVIDIA technologies with 25 million downloads of CUDA software last year alone. Metropolis for Factories NVIDIA Metropolis for Factories is made up of a variety of factory automation workflows that enable industrial technology companies and manufacturers to develop, deploy and manage customized quality control systems.  Metropolis now includes a state-of-the-art AI platform and workflows to develop incredibly accurate inspection applications, like automated optica...
