The round was led by returning investor SoftBank Vision Fund 1, includes new investors ClearBridge Investments, LLC and Satwik Ventures and an additional investment from Qualcomm Ventures LLC.

"We have always envisioned a world where robots make the lives of people safer, easier, and more productive," said Brain Corp CEO Dr. Eugene Izhikevich. "Autonomous robots are playing a vital role in supporting essential businesses and their workers during this health crisis. This investment will help us continue our pace of innovation and fuel our growth as we execute on the opportunity in front of us."

"World events have brought the value of automation sharply into focus, and we see Brain Corp playing an integral role as market adoption for robotics accelerates."
