Eka’s robots are doing 1,500 picks/hour - 2.5x faster than a human.
Congrats @pulkitology, @haarnoja, & @EkaRobotics on the raise!
Replying to @EkaRobotics
@EkaRobotics has raised a $150M Series A.
Generality v/s Performance is the fundamental tension at the frontier of robotics. Generality without performance is just a prototype. Performance without generality is just a single-purpose tool.
Customers shouldn’t have to choose. Eka breaks the tradeoff. Powered by our Vision-Force-Action (VFA) model, we deliver the performance and versatility customers need to put robots to work every day.
Eka is built on three convictions:
⚡️Force is the language of manipulation.
🚀 Reinforcement learning is how dexterous manipulation scales.
🎂 System 1—fast, reliable physical execution—is the bottleneck to solve.
With this funding, we will scale our model and accelerate customer deployments.
Grateful to be building alongside a dream team and investors who share our ambition.
Announcing our Series A led by @a16z and @FPrimeCapital. Join us to build the future of robotics. We have openings across the team.

Safe human-robot interaction with Eka's force-first approach to robotics: Vision-Force-Action Models (VFA).
Read about us in the WIRED feature, and we are hiring: jobs.ashbyhq.com/ekarobotics
Thrilled that @EkaRobotics launch was covered by @WIRED as the big story, which says, "watching Eka's robotic claw feels like we're approaching the ChatGPT moment for the physical world".
We are not there yet, but it feels within reach. Let's build the future of robotics together – whether you are a researcher, engineer, or a product/program manager, we are hiring: jobs.ashbyhq.com/ekarobotics
I am grateful to be working alongside an amazing team and proud of what we have accomplished so far. We are scaling up our foundation model, a Vision-Force-Action Model (VFA) for dexterous manipulation and real-world applications through customer deployments.
@willknight from WIRED brought his own objects to play with our robots, and Eka's systems worked. Robots will never be slow again. Powered by Eka's tech, they are fast, reliable, general, and safe!

Excited to be able to share what I've been working on for the past 6 months!
@EkaRobotics is building something really special, and our robots don't have to sacrifice speed or dexterity for generalization
Eka means unity -- “one,” in Sanskrit and “first” in Finnish.
We’re building intelligence for the physical world in its native language: forces.
Until now, robotics faced a tradeoff — generality or speed. The real world requires both. Robotics also faced a data problem.
Our Vision–Force–Action (VFA) model — the first of its kind — breaks the generality-speed tradeoff and the data barrier.
It's a new foundation uniting performance, generality, and safety for putting capable robots in everyone's hands.
Today, I am excited to share our journey of pushing robots beyond human limits.
Today, dexterity becomes scalable.
Today, I welcome you to the Era of Eka.
Co-founded with @haarnoja, and so thrilled and grateful to be working with a dream team at @EkaRobotics.

🧵In the world of physical AI, we’re used to seeing videos sped up to hide how slow robots actually are.
@EkaRobotics is doing the exact opposite.
They’re showing their robots at 1/25x speed because the movement is so fast and the force-sensitivity so precise, you’d miss the "superhuman" dexterity in real-time.
Excited to be featured as life-like robots and the comparisons to GPT-1 made by @WIRED and @willknight
From sorting chicken nuggets to screwing in light bulbs, Eka’s robots are eerily lifelike. But do they have real physical smarts? wired.com/story/when-robots-…

Its almost time ...
May the Force be with you.
Forces are the language of the physical world. At @EkaRobotics, we're building a Vision-Force-Action Model (VFA).
Hello World
Until now, robotics stopped where the human hand begins.
Strong, but not delicate.
Precise, but not adaptive.
Repetitive, but not creative.
The human hand wasn’t a benchmark — it was a boundary.
We are crossing it.
@EkaRobotics.
Coming soon.
