The verified answer
As of Aug 2026, DEPLOY verifies CarbonSix: 1 model, $44.0M raised. 2 sources back the record.
Overview
South Korean physical AI company developing robotic intelligence software and hardware for factory automation. Founded in 2024, CarbonSix combines AI-powered imitation learning with precision robotic manipulators to automate variable, labor-intensive manufacturing tasks. Its SigmaKit toolkit enables robots to learn directly from human demonstrations, eliminating traditional programming requirements.
The company's products are already deployed in commercial manufacturing environments, using a proprietary data flywheel that continuously improves AI models from real-world factory operations. CEO Tae-yeon Terry Moon previously co-founded SUALAB, an industrial AI vision company acquired by Cognex.
