Dream Labs, a startup trying to make robots more intelligent and capable of performing many different tasks, has raised $90 million in seed funding to coincide with the launch of a public application programming interface that provides access to its universal robot foundation model. Today’s round was jointly led by B Capital and Kindred Ventures and saw the participation of others including A.Capital, Unusual Ventures, Wing VC, SV Angel, Scribble VC and angel investor Adrian Aoun. Dream Labs is taking aim at the lack of intelligence in today’s robots, which might be fairly numerous in many environments but are also fairly limited. The startup believes there are more than five million industrial robots working inside factories…
