Profile
Rhoda AI left stealth in Mar 2026 with FutureVision, a robot foundation model that learns how objects move from hundreds of millions of internet videos and then controls robots in closed loop. It runs on Rhoda's own systems in industrial pilots and is meant to work with many kinds of robot hardware. CEO Jagdeep Singh previously founded QuantumScape. It raised a $450M Series A at a $1.7B valuation.
