Tutor Intelligence raises $75M Series B led by a16z for robots trained by remote human tutors
The Watertown, Massachusetts company has now raised $117 million and builds and deploys its Sonny and Cassie robots in the US.
Why it matters
Tutor puts robots to work in factories and warehouses before they are fully autonomous, with remote operators called tutors stepping in when needed; each intervention becomes training data for its robot foundation model. That bets on deployment data rather than internet video to close robotics' data gap. a16z leads, with Union Square Ventures and Neo, earlier lead investors, joining. Watch how fast the share of work done without tutors grows as the fleet expands.
