Walden Robotics has emerged from stealth with $300 million in seed funding and a $1.1 billion valuation, unveiling an industrial robotics platform that deliberately breaks from the humanoid playbook.
The funding round was co-led by Toyota and Deviation Capital, with participation from Nvidia, Boeing, Samsung Ventures, CoreWeave Ventures, Prologis Ventures and several others.
The Cambridge, Massachusetts-based startup, which spun out of the Toyota Research Institute in January, develops general-purpose robots designed for manufacturing and logistics environments.
