Enact Intelligence raises reported $30M pre-seed for touch-sensing robots
Zurich-based Enact Intelligence emerged from stealth with a reported $30 million pre-seed round backed by redalpine, Notion Capital and firstminute capital, with angel investors including Mistral founder Arthur Mensch and Yann LeCun. The company says its robots sense force and touch through their motors rather than relying only on cameras, and that the approach can be adapted from robot arms to full humanoids. Founder Manuel Yves Galliker also said existing video models can be adapted to output robot actions. Enact is in talks with large European companies in manufacturing, infrastructure, retail and food processing about using its first robots. Another supplied report described the round as a €26.68 million seed round, leaving the amount and round terminology unresolved.
The financing supports Enact’s motor-based force-sensing approach, while the company’s deployment talks indicate areas where it is seeking to introduce its first robots; no deployments are confirmed.
