# CarbonSix raises 40 million dollars to bring physical AI to factory floors

> Most physical AI hype focuses on humanoid robots, but CarbonSix is going after the less glamorous problem of getting AI to handle messy, variable tasks on existing factory lines. It is betting that real deployment data beats flashy demos, drawing on a founding team with a track record in industrial machine vision. If it works, manufacturers get automation that improves itself instead of needing constant reprogramming.
