Xaba Inc. has secured a $6 million seed extension to accelerate the deployment of AI-powered robotics and cognitive industrial control systems, aiming to build 'synthetic brains' for industrial robots with zero code.
The company aims to redefine automation by allowing robots to self-optimize and execute tasks with minimal programming, resulting in reduced waste and up to a 10x reduction in costs.
Xaba's 'generative industrial AI' equips machines with cognitive intelligence, enabling them to adapt, optimize, and execute tasks autonomously.
The xCognition platform automates task programming for industrial automation, generating part-programs and PLC logic to enable machines to self-generate programs for tasks like welding, drilling, assembling, and additive manufacturing.
Xaba's systems integrate real-time intelligence into automation, reducing deployment costs and enhancing manufacturing operations' quality, consistency, and flexibility.
The AI models from Xaba can autonomously generate robotic programs and PLC code, reducing deployment time by up to 80% and eliminating manual coding.
The company's AI has shown improvements in automotive manufacturing, large-scale robotic drilling, robotic welding, and large-scale 3D printing, optimizing processes and reducing costs.
Hitachi Ventures led Xaba's seed round funding, with participation from other venture capital firms, bringing the startup's total raised funds to $8 million.
Xaba's innovative approach to industrial robotics and automation has received praise for its potential to transform manufacturing environments, solving persistent programming and production challenges.
