Eka Robotics raises $150 million Series A at a $1.45 billion valuation

Eka Robotics, founded by MIT professor Pulkit Agrawal and former DeepMind researcher Tuomas Haarnoja, closed a $150 million Series A led by a16z and F-Prime. Its picking system pairs a force-sensitive gripper costing under $1,000 with a model trained largely in simulation, and the company says it handles about 1,500 objects an hour. It is running pilots with industrial customers.
