Santa Clara AI-native cobot with VLMs for cage-free human collaboration; $140M+ ($100M General Catalyst/Sequoia/Khosla Series B Apr 2024) from Amazon Robotics VP founder competing with Universal Robots for flexible manufacturing and logistics.
About
Collaborative Robotics (Cobot) is a Santa Clara, California-based AI-native collaborative robot company — backed with $140+ million in total funding including a $100 million Series B in April 2024 led by General Catalyst with Bison Ventures, Industry Ventures, Lux Capital, Sequoia Capital, Khosla Ventures, and Mayo Clinic — providing manufacturing, logistics, and healthcare facilities with Proxie: the company's flagship collaborative robot that uses vision-language models (VLMs) and generative AI to adapt to real-world environments and work safely alongside humans without cages or extensive programming. Founded in 2022 by Brad Porter — former Vice President of Robotics at Amazon (where he built Amazon Robotics from 30 to 12,000+ robots) and former CTO of Scale AI — Collaborative Robotics is applying frontier AI to collaborative robotics with a team of robotics and AI researchers from Amazon, Google, and leading robotics programs.
Phoenix AZ copper/gold mining leader (NYSE: FCX) ~$25.4B FY2024 revenue; Grasberg world's largest gold mine, 4.2B lbs copper, EV/AI demand structural tailwind, Kathleen Quirk CEO 2024 competing with BHP and Glencore.
About
Freeport-McMoRan Inc. is a Phoenix, Arizona-based mining company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: FCX) as an S&P 500 Materials component — operating copper, gold, and molybdenum mines across North America, South America, and Indonesia, including the Grasberg mine complex in Papua, Indonesia (the world's largest gold mine and second-largest copper mine), the Cerro Verde mine in Arequipa, Peru, the Morenci mine in Arizona, and the El Abra mine in Chile through approximately 27,000 employees. In fiscal year 2024, Freeport-McMoRan reported revenues of approximately $25.4 billion, with copper representing the primary revenue driver (producing 4.2 billion pounds of copper at an average realized price of approximately $4.20/lb — the highest sustained copper price since 2011 as AI infrastructure, energy transition, and EV adoption created structural demand growth expectations). CEO Kathleen Quirk assumed the CEO role in June 2024 following Richard Adkerson's retirement after 24 years leading Freeport through the privatization of Freeport-McMoRan from its 2007 Phelps Dodge acquisition through the commodity supercycle, oil price-induced near-bankruptcy in 2016, and recovery to peak copper demand leadership. Freeport's Grasberg Complex (producing 1.7 billion pounds of copper and 1.6 million troy ounces of gold annually at full production) represents the defining asset — transitioning from the Grasberg open pit (the world's largest truck-shovel copper operation, mining ore since the 1980s, reaching pit depletion) to the underground Big Gossan, Grasberg Block Cave, and Deep MLZ block caving mines that provide 40+ years of underground copper production from the same ore body.
