AgainA Stockholm-based company has created a multimodal data stack for physical AI and announces that it has secured $ 15.6 million for the seed fund, taking their total funds to $ 18.6 million.
The round was led by Point Nine, Sunflower Capital and existing investors with the participation of Coastanoa Ventures and Cedcamps. Gillarmo Rouch (CEO of Versaille), Oliver Cameron (Odyssey CEO), Wes McKini (Pandas Creator, Apache Arrow and IBIS), Eric Jang (VP of II AI) and Nicholas Designer) (General Partner of Wi COMBINTER) (Wi -Combinator’s General Partner).

“Most GDP in the world exists in the physical world, creating a huge opportunity to convert our economy to the physical AI“Said Nicholas WestCo-founder and CEO of Rirun. “However the current data stack has not been built for this new realityThe “
Established in 2022 by Nicholas West, Emil Ernerfelt and Mortaz Shibold, the company combined with Open-Source Visualization equipment with a high-performer commercial database specially designed for robotics, autonomous vehicles, special computing and other physical AI applications.
Robotics, autonomy, drones and data systems come from Apple, AWS, meta, unity, jenley and zipline. It is the creator of the RABABG format, the main contributor to the Apache Datafus, and their CTO, Emil Ernerfeld is the creator of the EGUI, the largest open source GII structure of the rust.
“Say a robot drive to a wall. Why did it do it? You need tools that allow you to see the world through the eyes of the robot to know how it worked” WestThe “That’s what we madeThe “
Rerun is launching a new database and cloud data platform for physical AI data and workflies. The database is designed to handle complex multimodal data such as video streams, 3D scenes and tenners, which develop at different rates over time. This is the first type, combined with the Open Source Visualization Toolkit of Rirun, supports everything from the monitoring of the new multimodal data stack to examination and training.
The new commercial offer is in development with the selected design partners and is scheduled for general availability after the year.
Rirun’s Open Source project has achieved traction. Today it is used by organizations such as in Open Source Projects Meet, GoogleHug LerobotAnd UnitThe
“Previously, most of their visualization and data infrastructure from everyone-robotics to autonomous vehicles were created from house to house. However, despite the lot of investment, even the world’s largest companies were not happy with the results” WestThe “We realized that they were making the wrong foundation. The old stack was lacking in performance and flexibility. Inspired by flexible data models in gaming engines we wrote us again from rust to groundThe “
According to Riroon, the traditional data tools for robotics are lacking in operating the file oriented and a quick test -examination and a flexible data management for dataset courses. Classic data warehouses and lakehouses architecture do not have deep support for physical AI data, which forces developers to maintain complex translation levels and duplicate codes in the system.
The goal of Rirun is to solve these problems by bringing its flexible data models for physical AI in the database. It gives teams built -in visualization, high effectiveness and simple, more flexible systems.
“All companies that developed physical AI prevent the speed of product development“Said Mortaz ShiboldCo-founder and COO. “Physical AI has a data flyhill. The smarter your system, the more you can deploy units, which allows you to collect more data for training that makes your system smarter. Rirun helps teams to conduct a faster test -study, which is the largest lever in development speedThe “
“Run’s mission is wildly ambitious to create multimodal data stacks for physical AI and we are interested in supporting Emil, Moritz, Nico and team on their journey“Said Ricardo Natma AmramPartner at Point Nine. “Their work at Open Source has allowed their physical AI to gain trust in the world’s most ambitious organization. As the AI goes into the world of atoms, we believe that rearun companies can constantly be a foundational platform by enabled the construction of better products, repeats and shipping to the ship. “
The company plans to double its team size at the end of the year by making its commercial database offer and focusing on the open source project more deeply with robotics and physical AI ecosystems.
