Rivian CEO RJ Scaringe has launched a new robotics startup called Mind Robotics, which recently raised a $500M Series A round. He argues that current robotics approaches are flawed and aims to develop more practical, capable systems. The venture is separate from Rivian but could potentially supply technology to the automaker in the future.
Background
Rivian is an established electric vehicle manufacturer known for its R1T truck and R1S SUV, with a new mid-sized R2 model launching soon. CEO Scaringe has previously spun out micromobility startup Also from Rivian's internal projects.
