Dream Labs has raised $90 million in seed funding and launched Dream API, a public interface that takes a robot's camera feed plus a plain English instruction and returns motor commands. The company says it works even on robots it has never seen before.
Its flagship Dream-1 model learns from video of people doing everyday tasks. Because it is trained on video instead of one machine, Dream Labs claims the skills transfer across hardware from different makers.
Why it matters: the world now runs about 5 million industrial robots, and almost all of them are programmed for a single job. A shared brain that ports between low cost arms could cut the months it takes to teach a robot something new.
