In South Korea, RLWRLD has raised $14.8 million in a seed round.
I believe this funding marks a turning point.
It brings conversational intelligence into robotic arms capable of reacting in real time to mistakes and unexpected events.
Picture a robot assembling parts in a crowded workshop, or one improvising in the kitchen.
In Pune, Peppermint closed a $4 million Series A round.
I believe it deserves attention because its Peppermint OS turns repetitive tasks into fully autonomous processes.
The robots clean floors and move materials—driverless and without supervision. Info
