# Rhoda AI

> Rhoda AI is a Palo Alto robotics company building foundation models that teach robots to act in the messy physical world by learning from internet-scale video instead of staged lab demos. Its FutureVision system - a Direct Video Action (DVA) model - watches an environment, predicts what happens next, and converts those predictions into motion in a closed loop that updates every few hundred milliseconds. Founded in 2024 and out of stealth in March 2026 with a $450M Series A at a $1.7B valuation, Rhoda targets high-variability manufacturing and logistics work.

- **Founded:** 2024
- **Headquarters:** Palo Alto, California, United States
- **Founders:** Jagdeep Singh (Co-founder & CEO), Eric Ryan Chan (Co-founder & Chief Science Officer), Gordon Wetzstein (Co-founder (Stanford, Computational Imaging Lab))
- **Team size:** ~60 employees
- **Products:** FutureVision, Direct Video Action (DVA) model
- **Notable:** Raised a $450M Series A at a $1.7B valuation - one of the largest robotics Series A rounds on record (March 2026)., Exited 18 months of stealth with a working video-predictive control system, FutureVision., Reported completing a component-processing manufacturing workflow in under two minutes per cycle, autonomously, exceeding customer KPIs.

## Products & services

- **FutureVision** — Rhoda's foundation-model intelligence layer based on video-predictive control. It carries long-context visual memory, predicts future states of a scene, and runs robots in a closed loop - updating actions every few hundred milliseconds to adapt to changing conditions.
- **Direct Video Action (DVA) model** — Rhoda's proprietary architecture that links perception directly to control. Pre-trained on internet-scale video to learn physics and motion priors, it converts video predictions into robot actions for real-time, physics-aware operation, learning new tasks from as little as ~10 hours of teleoperation data.

## Achievements

- Raised a $450M Series A at a $1.7B valuation - one of the largest robotics Series A rounds on record (March 2026).
- Exited 18 months of stealth with a working video-predictive control system, FutureVision.
- Reported completing a component-processing manufacturing workflow in under two minutes per cycle, autonomously, exceeding customer KPIs.
- Backed by Premji Invest, Khosla Ventures, Temasek, John Doerr and others.

## Latest updates

- **2026-03** — Rhoda AI exits stealth with a $450M Series A led by Premji Invest at a $1.7B valuation, unveiling FutureVision and the Direct Video Action model.
