Rhoda AI

Rhoda AI develops general-purpose robot foundation models and a robot platform. Its Direct Video-Action model is pre-trained on web-scale video and then post-trained on robot trajectory data to learn specific tasks. The site describes the robot platform as having custom actuators rated at 25 kg payload (40 kg peak), brakes in every actuator, and safety-rated vision.

The company says it works with customers in automotive, manufacturing, logistics and ecommerce, and deploys robots in factories, warehouses and production environments. Example tasks on the site include returns processing, bearing decanting on an automotive assembly line and breakdown of heavy Contico boxes. The website does not describe the revenue model.

The leadership page lists Jagdeep Singh as CEO, with Eric Chan, Andrew Wooten, Changan Chen and Gordon Wetzstein among co-founders. Open roles are mainly in Mountain View, California, with Robot Pilot and Field Deployment Lead positions in Munich, Germany. Job openings span hardware, research, software and applied AI engineering. The founding year is not stated on the site.
