Tacta Systems Announces $75 million in Funding to Bring Dextrous Intelligence to Robots
Founded by serial entrepreneurs, Tacta is developing robotics with human-like tactile abilities for industrial and consumer applications
PALO ALTO, Calif., June 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Tacta Systems, a robotics company developing dextrous intelligence to give robots human-level tactile skills and spatial awareness, today announced $75 million in funding to accelerate the development of robotic solutions capable of performing complex, human-like tasks.
The funding includes a previously undisclosed $11 million seed round, led by Matter Venture Partners, along with a $64 million Series A round led by America's Frontier Fund and SBVA, with participation from Matter Venture Partners, B Capital, EDBI, Sojitz Corporation, CDIB -TEN Capital, Yazaki Innovations Inc., B5 Capital, Tyche Partners and Woven Capital.
Tacta's breakthrough lies in its proprietary combination of software, hardware and AI advances, along with its development of Dextrous Intelligence. As a smart nervous system, Dextrous Intelligence allows robots to sense, adapt, and manipulate the physical world with human-like precision and speed.
"Enabling machines to solve complex, physical world problems is the next frontier in robotics technology," said Andreas Bibl, Co-founder and CEO of Tacta Systems. "AI models have become incredibly sophisticated in working with text and video, but much of the physical world remains incomprehensible to them. We're incredibly excited about the disruptive technology that we're developing, which will ultimately help humanity automate much of the drudgery of factory work and grueling physical labor."
"Tacta is led by one of the most seasoned and accomplished Hard Tech entrepreneurs that I've ever seen," said Wen Hsieh, Founding Managing Partner at Matter Venture Partners. "The technology that they've developed in the last year-and-a-half is game-changing, and will prove incredibly valuable to both robotics and the world in the coming years. My firm and I are proud to have backed them from the very beginning."

Meta seeks $29 billion from private capital firms for AI data centers, FT reports

REUTERS/Annegret Hilse/File Photo (Reuters) -Meta Platforms is seeking to raise $29 billion from private capital firms to build artificial intelligence data centers in the U.S., the Financial Times reported on Friday. The Facebook-parent has advanced discussions with private credit investors including Apollo Global Management, KKR, Brookfield, Carlyle and Pimco, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter. Meta is looking to raise $3 billion in equity and $26 billion in debt, the report said, adding that the company is debating how to structure the fundraising and may also seek to raise more capital. Such a fundraising comes at a time when Meta has doubled down its commitment to artificial intelligence, including a $14.8 billion investment in startup Scale AI. Meta, Apollo Global, KKR, Brookfield, Carlyle and Pimco did not immediately respond to Reuters' requests for comment. Meta was working with its advisers at Morgan Stanley to arrange the financing, and it was considering ways that could make the debt more easily tradeable once it was issued, the FT report said.

US Congress battle over state AI regulations heats up ahead of Senate vote
WASHINGTON: The fight over a proposed 10-year federal moratorium on state regulation of artificial intelligence heated up on Wednesday, with Republican and Democratic Senate leaders differing on whether such a measure would be tied to billions of dollars in funding to give rural communities access to broadband. The proposed moratorium, part of President Donald Trump's sweeping tax-cut and spending bill, faces mounting pressure from critics ahead of crucial votes by the U.S. Senate expected this week. A previous version would have blocked states that regulate AI from the $42 billion Broadband Equity, Access, and Deployment program, known as BEAD. Republican Senator Ted Cruz released an updated version on Wednesday, which he said would only restrict states that tap a new $500 million fund to support AI infrastructure. Senator Maria Cantwell, senior Democrat on the Commerce committee, however, said the measure "continues to hold $42 billion in BEAD funding hostage, forcing states to choose between protecting consumers and expanding critical broadband infrastructure to rural communities." Proponents say the measure is necessary to lift the burden on companies of complying with laws that differ from state to state and boost U.S. dominance in AI. Critics say the measure erodes states' rights and would erase state protections for creative workers and children online. U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick voiced his support for the measure in a post on social media site X, saying it would end "the chaos of 50 different state laws and makes sure American companies can develop cutting-edge tech for our military, infrastructure, and critical industries--without interference from anti-innovation politicians." A Commerce Department spokesperson did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Earlier on Wednesday, the president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters had called the measure "a disaster for communities and working people." Teamsters President Sean O'Brien, who spoke at the Republican National Convention last year, said in a letter posted on social media site X that the measure "denies citizens the ability to make choices at the local or state level." "Pure and simple, it is a giveaway to Big Tech companies who reap economic value by continuing to operate in an unregulated void where their decisions and behavior are accountable to no one," he said. The letter from the head of the Teamsters, a union representing more than 1.3 million workers, many of them in blue-collar jobs such as trucking, was the latest instance of criticism. Unions, state lawmakers and attorneys general, faith leaders and the conservative Heritage Foundation have all opposed the measure, as have at least three Senate Republicans.
