RoboForce scores $52M
RoboForce closed a $52M round led by YZi Labs and announced Managing Partner Ella Zhang will join its board — a sign of investor appetite for AI/robotics boards and directors with deep ties to Nvidia and GTC‑level AI work announced.
The financing round was oversubscribed, lifting RoboForce’s cumulative capital to about $67 million ((markets.financialcontent.com)). New and returning backers named in the company release include Jerry Yang, Nobel laureate Myron Scholes, investor Gary Rieschel, and Carnegie Mellon University ((roboforce.ai)). RoboForce said the proceeds will be directed to accelerate its robot foundation model work, scale manufacturing capacity, and push the company toward commercial deployments and manufacturing readiness ((roboforce.ai)). Product disclosures list TITAN’s field specs as roughly 1 mm manipulation precision, a 40 kg dual‑arm payload and an ~8‑hour runtime with ~1,100 mm arm reachability for industrial tasks ((therobotreport.com)). RoboForce reported more than 11,000 robot letters of intent and active pilot projects across energy, data centers, logistics, mining and manufacturing as it shifts from R&D to scaled deployments ((roboforce.ai)). The company describes technical collaboration with NVIDIA on simulation training, synthetic data generation and cloud‑to‑edge orchestration, and notes TITAN was featured in NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang’s GTC keynote (Oct. 28, 2025) as evidence of that partnership ((roboforce.ai)). The investor stepping in comes from YZi Labs, the rebranded vehicle formerly known as Binance Labs that manages roughly $10 billion in assets and has publicly signaled an expanded focus into AI and biotech under Ella Zhang’s leadership ((binance.com)).
