Sereact, based in Stuttgart, Germany, has raised €25 million to enhance its embodied AI software, which enables robots to perform tasks without specific prior training. This innovative technology allows robots to adapt their actions in response to dynamic environments, greatly increasing their autonomy. The funding round attracted prominent investors, including former Formula 1 champion Nico Rosberg. Sereact's AI differs from traditional hard-coded robots, using zero-shot visual reasoning to understand images, thus eliminating the need for tedious pre-programming. Leading firms like BMW and Daimler Truck are already using this transformative software in their operations, highlighting the importance of this advancement in robotics.
With our technology, robots act situationally rather than following rigidly programmed sequences. They adapt to dynamic tasks in real-time, enabling an unprecedented level of autonomy.
Typically, robots – like those Roomba vacuum cleaners – are hard-coded. This means they follow exact instructions that enable them to repeat specific tasks.
The opportunities here are endless and it's great to see this kind of innovation coming from Europe.
Sereact's approach is similar to that of UK startup Wayve, which raised $1bn in Europe's largest-ever AI funding round last year.
