Furhat Robotics raises $2.5m to put social intelligence into robotics

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.

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.
