Mind Robotics is an American robotics company that develops artificial intelligence–enabled robotic systems for industrial and manufacturing applications.[1][2]

History

Mind Robotics was established as a spinoff from Rivian. The company originated from internal research efforts focused on applying software and automation technologies to manufacturing.[3][4]

Rivian founder RJ Scaringe is a co-founder of Mind Robotics and serves as its chairman. Rivian maintains an ownership stake and strategic relationship with the company.[5]

Technology and operations

The company develops robotic systems that integrate machine learning with industrial hardware. Its work focuses on automating tasks in manufacturing environments, including assembly and material handling.[6]

Mind Robotics uses data from industrial processes to train and improve its systems. Its approach is often described as “physical AI,” referring to the application of artificial intelligence to real-world robotic tasks.[7]

Deployment

Mind Robotics’ systems are being developed and deployed within manufacturing facilities operated by Rivian, which serve as the company’s primary testing and initial deployment environment.[8][9]

Rivian’s factories also provide operational data, including inputs from production systems and factory sensors, which are used to train and refine the company’s machine learning models during deployment.[10][11]

Funding

Mind Robotics raised approximately $115 million in seed funding in 2025.[12]

In 2026, it announced a $500 million Series A funding round led by venture capital firms including Accel and Andreessen Horowitz.[13] In May 2026, the company raised another $400 million, bringing total funding to over $1 billion.[14]
