PitchBook: robotics and physical AI companies have raised ~$48B YTD, as they gather training data from people completing tasks in factories, offices, and homes (Rafe Rosner-Uddin/Financial Times)
Robotics startups are paying to capture the physical-world data the web cannot supply.
PitchBook puts funding for robotics and “physical AI” companies at about $48 billion so far this year. The note says developers are placing cameras in factories, offices, and homes to record people doing tasks that robots need to learn. The linked FT piece frames that data gap as a core bottleneck for training useful robots. Source: Techmeme's note
