In my most recent story on Forbes, there’s good news and bad news in robotics. The good news is there’s been a lot of investment. The bad news: that spigot tightened significantly last year.

From my post:

The data from an investment report by F-Prime, the venture capital arm of Fidelity Investments, shows that 2021 was a great year to be raising capital for a robotics startup, with $18.1 billion raised in a low-interest stimulus-for-everyone Covid environment. That dropped by a third in 2022 to $12.4 billion, and dropped yet another third last year to just $7.4 billion.
