Antioch raises $32m to test robots in simulation before they touch hardware

Antioch, a New York startup, raised $32 million in a Series A round led by Greylock to advance its simulation software that tests robots and autonomous machines in the cloud before hardware deployment. The platform enables teams to run thousands of test scenarios virtually, speeding development and improving safety by reducing reliance on costly physical tests. Antioch combines programmed models with real-world data to simulate complex physical interactions for aerial, ground, and industrial AI.
