Mbodi AI
Mbodi AI is a New York robotics-software company building an embodied AI platform that lets people teach industrial robots new skills through plain natural language and short demonstrations - no code and no specialized engineers. Founded in 2024 by two former Google Public DNS engineers, the platform combines generative AI, agent orchestration and symbolic reasoning to turn everyday instructions into precise, reliable robot actions that run in production within minutes and transfer across an entire robot fleet. Mbodi is a Y Combinator company with a joint commercialization partnership with ABB Robotics.
Viam
Viam is a New York-based software platform that lets engineers build, deploy, and manage AI, data, and automation in the physical world across any hardware - from a single prototype to a global fleet. Founded in 2020 by MongoDB co-founder and former CTO Eliot Horowitz, Viam treats robots, sensors, cameras, and machines as programmable building blocks, giving hardware and software teams a common, modular, largely open-source stack. It powers everything from arena concession lines to robotic kitchens, marine sonar, and industrial equipment, and has raised $117M to date.
