Manitoba-made TetraGen Robotics is attracting the attention of investors across Canada. The company has raised $1.8 million in a seed funding round, which was oversubscribed. The technology behind TetraGen Robotics is artificial intelligence, which helps robots adapt their movements when parts they're working on deviate from the standard piece.

The company's founder, Matt Khoshdarregi, noticed that manufacturing companies were struggling with the high labor costs of programming robots for various tasks and adapting to deviations. TetraGen Robotics sells its first robot cell around two and a half years ago and has since shipped its products to manufacturers in Manitoba, including agricultural equipment, heavy vehicle, and mining equipment makers.

The robots are built for repetitive, high-volume tasks and help companies grow and become more competitive in the global market. The recent funding round will help TetraGen Robotics expand its footprint and sell robot cells in Canada and the United States.
