Sere\u00adact was foun\u00added by Dr. Ralf Gulde and Marc Tuscher in Stutt\u00adgart and deve\u00adlops AI models for robots that are used in the physi\u00adcal world. The company does not build its own hard\u00adware, but supplies Cortex, an AI model that runs on a wide variety of robot plat\u00adforms, whether one-armed, two-armed, huma\u00adnoid or statio\u00adnary. The current Cortex 2 gene\u00adra\u00adtion enables robots not only to react, but also to anti\u00adci\u00adpate situa\u00adtions and update them in real time. Sere\u00adact is one of the worl\u00add\u2019s most widely used provi\u00adders of AI picking robots, with over 200 systems in use in Europe and more than one billion produc\u00adtion picks comple\u00adted. Its custo\u00admers include BMW, Daim\u00adler Truck, DHL, Merce\u00addes-Benz, PepsiCo and Austrian Post. <\/p>\n
The fresh capi\u00adtal will be used to scale Cortex 2 and enter the US market. Sere\u00adact plans to open its first US office in Boston and build up a local sales, appli\u00adca\u00adtion and engi\u00adnee\u00adring team. The next stra\u00adte\u00adgic thrust is the area of cont\u00adact-based work, such as the precise assem\u00adbly of compon\u00adents or the inser\u00adtion of sensi\u00adtive compon\u00adents without dama\u00adging them. <\/p>\n
Sere\u00adact had alre\u00adady closed a Series A round led by Crean\u00addum in Janu\u00adary 2025, on which YPOG also advised.<\/p>\n
