Dream Labs is a robotics startup aiming to make robots more intelligent and capable of performing a wide range of tasks using simple video feeds. The company raised $90 million in seed funding, coinciding with the launch of a public application programming interface that provides access to its universal robot foundation model (SiliconANGLE, October 19/20). The round was jointly led by B Capital and Kindred Ventures (SiliconANGLE, October 19/20).
## Background
Dream Labs is part of a wave of startups developing "foundation models" for robotics, aiming to generalize across tasks and robot embodiments using large-scale learning from video data rather than specialized, task-specific programming.
## Why it matters
For entrepreneurs and investors, Dream Labs represents:
- Continued large seed-stage capital flows into embodied AI/robotics foundation models
- A trend toward video-based, vision-driven approaches to robot intelligence as an alternative to costly real-world data collection
- Competitive dynamics in the race to build general-purpose robot foundation models alongside other robotics AI players
## Latest developments
Dream Labs raised $90 million in seed funding and launched a public API for its universal robot foundation model (SiliconANGLE, October 19/20).
