We are delighted to announce today our seed round investment in Furhat Robotics, the startup that is putting social intelligence into robotics. The Swedish research startup, co-founded by Samer Al Moubayed, is building a conversational operating system to power robots with advanced social skills.
Samer Al Moubayed, founder and CEO, Furhat Robotics
Furhat’s vision is to build a computer interface that enables people to interact with machines the same way we interact with each other.
The investment follows an exceptional period for Furhat Robotics which has already secured a mix of leading research universities and global businesses as customers and partners. Furhat, based in Stockholm, is set to double in size as it recruits world-class engineers and PhDs, as well as business management expertise, to continue the development of Furhat’s intelligence.
