Palo Alto-based startup Rhoda AI announced that it has raised US$450 million in a Series A funding round, valuing the company at about US$1.7 billion. The company plans to use the capital to expand development and deployment of artificial intelligence systems designed to train robots using internet-scale video data.The round was led by Premji Invest and included investors such as Khosla Ventures, Temasek Holdings, and venture capitalist John Doerr.Rhoda emerged from 18 months in stealth while unveiling its robotics platform, designed to enable machines to operate more effectively in complex and unpredictable industrial environments.Chief executive Jagdeep Singh said the method helps robots adapt to unfamiliar conditions that might otherwise disrupt traditional models.“We believe the next era of robotics requires models that understand how the world moves — not just what it looks like or how it’s described in language,” Singh said in a recent press release. The goal is simple: robots that work in the real world, not just controlled lab settings.”The company calls its system a Direct Video Action model, which continuously observes its surroundings, predicts how the environment may change, and translates those predictions into robotic actions in real time.According to Rhoda, the system updates its decisions every few hundred milliseconds in a closed feedback loop, allowing robots to adjust as conditions evolve.“We believe the next era of robotics requires models that understand how the world moves — not just what it looks like or how it’s described in language,” Singh said. “By learning from internet-scale video and operating in closed loop, our systems are designed to adapt to real-world variability in ways conventional approaches struggle to achieve.”Traditional robotics AI models are typically trained using teleoperation data, where human operators remotely control robot movements to generate training examples. While effective in controlled settings, this method can limit how much data is available for robots to learn from. Rhoda’s approach instead uses millions of publicly available internet videos to teach robots about physical movement, object interactions and real-world dynamics. The company then combines this large-scale video training with smaller amounts of robotic data to refine how machines execute tasks.The company said its technology has already been tested in industrial settings using off-the-shelf robotic hardware inside an automotive manufacturing facility.Rhoda plans to license its software platform to industrial customers and is also developing its own robotics hardware, including humanoid robots, to ensure the technology can operate effectively in production environments.Don't forget to follow us @INN_Technology for real-time news updates!Securities Disclosure: I, Giann Liguid, hold no direct investment interest in any company mentioned in this article.

In a report released Monday (March 16), the Senate Economics Legislation Committee supported the Corporations Amendment (Digital Assets Framework) Bill 2025, describing it as a step toward modernizing oversight while maintaining consumer protections similar to traditional financial markets.The proposed framework would introduce licensing and compliance requirements for companies that manage or hold digital assets on behalf of customers. Rather than attempting to regulate blockchain technology itself, the bill focuses on intermediaries such as exchanges, custodians, and digital token managers. The changes would amend both the Corporations Act 2001 and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission Act 2001 to bring these firms under the country’s existing financial services framework.Under the proposal, companies operating without an Australian Financial Services Licence would have six months to obtain authorization once the law takes effect. Crypto exchanges already must register with the Australian Transaction Reports and Analysis Centre (AUSTRAC) as digital currency providers before offering trading services in the country.Crypto leaders rebut Ponzi commentsA fresh debate over Bitcoin’s legitimacy erupted after former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson described the cryptocurrency as a “Ponzi scheme” in a newspaper column. Johnson said he had long suspected Bitcoin operates as a speculative bubble and warned readers against investing in digital assets. His comments were sparked by an anecdote about a churchgoer who allegedly suffered financial losses after buying Bitcoin.The remarks drew immediate responses from prominent figures in the crypto industry. Strategy co-founder Michael Saylor pushed back on the characterization, arguing that Bitcoin lacks the defining structure of a Ponzi scheme. “A Ponzi requires a central operator promising returns and paying early investors with funds from later ones,” Saylor wrote on X. “Bitcoin is not a Ponzi scheme.”Other industry voices echoed the criticism. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino and Blockstream chief executive Adam Back both highlighted that Bitcoin operates as a decentralized network governed by code rather than by a central promoter.Mastercard expands stablecoin push with new crypto partnerMastercard is strengthening its digital asset strategy by adding stablecoin infrastructure firm Borderless.xyz to its Crypto Partner Program.
