Mecka AI raises $60 million for robot training data

Mecka AI has raised $60 million in a new funding round led by Sequoia to teach robots how to move just like you do. The startup pays everyday people to record themselves doing chores while wearing body sensors and using smartphones. 🚀

Founded in 2024, the company builds the training data libraries that physical machines need, much like text databases helped train modern chatbots.

The round pushes the startup toward a $500 million valuation with backing from Nvidia and Microsoft, while rival XDOF targets a $1.2 billion valuation.

This real-world data helps humanoid robots learn practical tasks like making coffee or fixing cars without manual programming.
