NEXFORM

CarbonSix, founded in 2024 in San Francisco, was built by the founding team behind SuaLab, a Korean industrial AI vision company acquired by Cognex for approximately $200 million in 2019. The company takes a deployment-first approach, delivering plug-and-play automation tools to factories including dexterous robotic hands, robotic arms, and an imitation learning toolkit that generates high-quality task data from customer use to feed back into model training. The company has active commercial contracts and scaled revenue, and in September 2025 released the industry's first standardized imitation learning toolkit for manufacturing.

Angel · $51M · 2024-06

Beijing Acorn Robot Technology Co., Ltd., founded in late 2024, is a general-purpose embodied-intelligence company whose core team comes from Tsinghua University and Harvard, spanning mechanical engineering, neuroscience and AI. It takes a bottom-up approach centered on tactile perception, giving robots manipulation 'instinct' first and letting operational intelligence emerge through physical-world interaction, emphasizing a 'zero-data cold start'. On 10 August 2026 it released the Natus AGE-0 embodied-instinct model and offers standardized dual-arm flexible production cells under a 'manufacturing-as-a-service' model, reportedly deployed in cosmetics ODM factories (leadership claims are company self-reported and not independently verified).

Series A · $15M · 2026-04

Osmos Robotics (formerly Neuralzome Cybernetics), founded in 2023 in Bengaluru, India, builds the deployment layer for general-purpose and humanoid robots. Its no-code engine OsmoPilot lets non-technical operators teach robots by demonstration, assign tasks by point-and-click, and build drag-and-drop behavior trees for OsmoBot robots, backed by a real-time digital twin, to cut systems-integration cost and deployment time. As Neuralzome it developed AI agents for outdoor autonomous robots such as agricultural machines.
