## Eka Robotics Raises $150M Series A
Eka Robotics raised $150 million in Series A funding led by Andreessen Horowitz and F-Prime at a reported $1.45 billion valuation.
## Vision-Force-Action Model
The company is building a vision-force-action model trained with simulation and reinforcement learning to handle unfamiliar objects.
## Dexterous Manipulation Focus
Eka focuses on tasks like packing delicate produce and assembling GPU server racks with precision.
## 1,500 Operations Per Hour
Robots can perform up to 1,500 pick operations per hour versus a human baseline of about 600.
## Simulation to Real-World Transfer
Eka's VFA model reduces the gap between simulated and real-world robot performance.
## Funding for Scale
The $150M will support broader task capabilities and expanded customer deployments.
## Key Founders
Pulkit Agrawal leads MIT CSAIL’s Improbable AI Lab and Tuomas Haarnoja co-created Soft Actor-Critic algorithm.
## Investor Praise
a16z general partner Raghu Raghuram calls Eka's model the first to solve manipulation with needed generality and throughput.
## Key takeaway

Eka Robotics raised $150 million in Series A funding led by Andreessen Horowitz and F-Prime to develop robots that handle unfamiliar objects at 1,500 operations per hour.
