Otta's take

Theo Margolius headshot

Theo Margolius

COO of Otta

Machina Labs provides robotics and AI technology for the manufacturing industry, aiming to increase the speed of design lifecycles, whilst making them more flexible and of higher quality. The company leverages AI-driven robotics to automate tasks that otherwise require human interruption, with AI also being used to improve the cost efficiency, reusability, reliability, and sustainability of manufacturing cycles.

Whilst AI-driven robotics in the manufacturing industry is becoming increasingly common, Machina Labs has taken the unique approach of leveraging AI to identify opportunities for design lifecycle innovation. The company received early endorsements from partnerships with the U.S. Air Force and NASA as it has shown great potential to disrupt the manufacturing industry with a fresh approach to the use cases of AI and robotics.

Machina Labs has drawn in several investments in 2023, one with Lockheed Martin Ventures in January and the other from Yamaha Motor Ventures in February. The funding is set to be used to accelerate growth to meet customer demand, while expanding its range of alloys.
