Enigma raises $70M to make controlling a robot as easy as adjusting the volume
Summary
Enigma, a robotics startup founded by Jonathan Jacobi and Gal Niv, has raised $70 million in a seed round led by Index Ventures and Ribbit Capital. Unlike competitors focusing primarily on general foundation models, Enigma is prioritizing the human-robot interaction experience to make controlling machines as intuitive as adjusting a car's volume knob. To achieve this, the company is launching a large-scale public experiment allowing users worldwide to interact online with its proprietary robots, gathering valuable data to shape future interfaces and foundational AI models.
