An AI startup building ‘Windows for robots’ has raised $10 million
The funding for Metacognition AI came from CSIRO-backed deep tech VC Main Sequence. The raise was first reported by Capital Brief.
AI researcher Anton van den Hengel, the chief scientist of the Australian Institute for Machine Learning, cofounded the startup this year with Stephen Gould, and Paul Dalby.
