Mind Robotics Raises $500M Series A to Scale AI Industrial Robotics Platform
- Mind Robotics announced a $500 million Series A round co-led by Accel and Andreessen Horowitz, following a $115 million seed round in 2025.
- The company is building AI-enabled robotic systems designed to handle dexterous and variable tasks in manufacturing environments.
Mind Robotics announced a $500 million Series A financing round led by Accel and Andreessen Horowitz, following a $115 million seed round in late 2025. Accel partner Sameer Gandhi will join the company’s board.
“As AI enters the physical world, we believe the largest, at-scale application for advanced robotics will be across the industrial sector,” said founder RJ Scaringe in a press release. “Advanced robotics are going to be critical for global competitiveness, as well as addressing the substantial industrial labor shortages that exist today. We’re building robots that will perform real tasks, in real plants, at real scale. I am grateful to have partners that believe in what we are building at Mind Robotics — looking forward to having Sameer join our Board.”
The company is developing systems designed to perform dexterous, variable, and reasoning-intensive tasks. Its approach combines models, hardware, and deployment infrastructure, addressing work that differs from the repeatable, dimensionally stable tasks handled by existing industrial robotics.
Founded in 2025 by Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe, Mind Robotics operates with Rivian as a partner and major shareholder. The company’s development and deployment are grounded in a live manufacturing environment and supported by access to production data and engineering expertise.
🌀 Tom’s Take:
Mind Robotics is focused on factory work that traditional automation cannot handle, tasks that vary and require judgment. By building the full system and developing it within a live production environment, it has a clearer path from testing to real-world use.
