Safeworld raises $12M to prove gen AI robots are safe
safeworld emerges from stealth with $12m seed round to develop safety evaluations for gen ai robots, addressing concerns over unpredictable behavior.
safeworld, a new startup founded by dr. ding zhao, kyle wong, and simo rachidi, is working on safety evaluations for gen ai robots. the company emerged from stealth with a seed round of over $12m, led by shine capital and a16z speedrun. safeworld's platform uses simulations with realistic human models to evaluate robotic control systems, addressing concerns over unpredictable behavior in unstructured environments. the founders believe that robot-makers will want a third-party to validate their work, and that safeworld's expertise can help build industry safety standards. safeworld has already partnered with gritt robotics to develop safety simulations for their ai-powered robots.
