A robotics ecosystem map update spotlights Massachusetts players: EkaRobotics (Vision-Force-Action AI models), WaldenRobotics (general-purpose robots for manufacturing/logistics, $300M launch funding), Generalist AI (GEN-0/GEN-1 robotics foundation models, $600M+ total raised), plus ADI's sensors and MathWorks' MATLAB/Simulink tooling. Despite talk of robotics moving west, Boston remains a top hub thanks to MIT/Harvard talent and deep-tech investment.
