Xaba, a Toronto, Canada-based company building synthetic brains for industrial robots with zero code, raised $6M in Seed extension funding.
The round was led by Hitachi Ventures with participation from Hazelview Ventures, BDC Capital, Exposition Ventures, and Impact Venture Capital.
The company intends to use the funds to accelerate the deployment of AI-powered robotics and cognitive Industrial Control systems.
Led by CEO Massimiliano Moruzzi, Xaba is an industrial AI company for manufacturing processes. It provides xCognition that empowers industrial robots and collaborative robots (cobots) with AI-driven cognition and awareness, enabling them to autonomously generate programs and execute complex tasks such as welding, drilling, assembling, and additive manufacturing.
Its AI is already serving aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing by eliminating costly rework and manual adjustments:
- Automotive Manufacturing: its AI optimizes aluminum casting and forging, enabling robots to precisely machine metallic castings while adjusting for machining tolerances.
- Large-Scale Robotic Drilling: Xaba’s AI allows robots to reconfigure different parts and processes without costly downtime.
- Robotic Welding: the AI automates MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding and TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) laser welding, and laser welding, ensuring consistent, high-quality output across production lines while accelerating production timelines.
- Large-Scale 3D Printing: the xTrude system optimizes Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), preventing delamination, collapse, and distortion. It allows manufacturers to fine-tune print parameters in real-time, improving reliability and reducing material waste.
