Industrial AI robotics raised $52M for dangerous job automation; NVIDIA partnership; Jerry Yang-backed; targets oil, gas, mining, and manufacturing with robots for hazardous environments.
RoboForce is an industrial robotics company deploying AI-powered robots to perform dangerous, physically demanding jobs in industrial environments. The company was founded on the premise that a significant portion of the most hazardous industrial labor — work that causes high rates of injury and is increasingly hard to staff — can be automated with purpose-built robotic systems guided by advanced AI. RoboForce targets sectors including oil and gas, mining, construction, and heavy manufacturing, where conditions are too variable and unstructured for traditional industrial automation.\n\nThe company's robots combine mobility, dexterity, and AI perception to operate in real industrial worksites that are not designed for robots. Unlike warehouse automation or assembly line robots that work in controlled settings, RoboForce machines must navigate dynamic, hazardous environments — confined spaces, elevated structures, contaminated areas — making the AI decision-making layer as important as the physical hardware. The platform is designed to deploy alongside existing human workforces, taking over the specific tasks that pose the highest risk of injury or fatality.\n\nRoboForce raised $52M in March 2026, with investors including NVIDIA and backing from Jerry Yang, the co-founder of Yahoo. NVIDIA's participation reflects the deep compute requirements for real-time environmental perception and decision-making in unstructured industrial settings. With growing labor shortages in dangerous industrial jobs and increasing regulatory pressure on workplace safety, RoboForce is positioned to capture a large and underpenetrated market that traditional robotics vendors have not addressed.
Columbus IN power technology (NYSE: CMI) at record $34.1B 2024 revenue, net income $3.9B; diesel + hydrogen + electric power solutions, Jennifer Rumsey first female CEO, Accelera EV segment competing with Caterpillar.
Cummins Inc. is a Columbus, Indiana-based power technology manufacturer — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: CMI) as an S&P 500 Industrials component — designing, manufacturing, and distributing diesel, natural gas, electrified power, and hydrogen power solutions for commercial trucks, buses, construction and mining equipment, generators, rail, and marine applications through approximately 73,000 employees in 190 countries and territories. In fiscal year 2024, Cummins reported record full-year revenues of $34.1 billion (flat versus 2023), record net income of $3.9 billion ($28.37 diluted EPS), and record EBITDA of $6.3 billion — an exceptional performance given a significant decline in heavy-duty truck build rates in North America, demonstrating the benefit of geographic diversification and product breadth across power segments. Results included gains from the 2023 separation of Atmus Filtration Technologies (NYSE: ATMU) as an independent public company. CEO Jennifer Rumsey — the first female CEO of a major engine company in US history, who assumed leadership in 2022 — leads Cummins' strategic evolution through its Destination Zero strategy: achieving near-zero carbon emissions from Cummins products by 2050 through a portfolio of diesel, natural gas, hydrogen internal combustion engine, hydrogen fuel cell, and battery electric power solutions that allows customers to decarbonize at their own pace based on fuel availability, infrastructure, and economics. Cummins' Accelera (electrification) business unit develops battery systems, fuel cell modules, and e-axles for the zero-emission commercial vehicle transition.
