London-based Machenta, a robotics startup, has successfully raised a $40M seed round. The company is developing an AI model designed to teach robots new physical tasks after observing them performed just once. This approach aims to circumvent the extensive data collection typically required by larger competitors, allowing robots to learn new tricks more efficiently.
