Toronto-based Xaba has secured $8 million in seed extension financing to advance its AI-driven control systems for industrial robots. The round was led by Hitachi Ventures, with participation from Hazelview Ventures, BDC Capital, Exposition Ventures, and Impact Venture Capital.
Xaba’s software, xCognition and PLCfy, enables natural language commands and self-awareness in robots, enhancing efficiency in tasks like welding, casting, and 3D printing. CEO Massimiliano Moruzzi says the system gives robots “synthetic brains.” With clients in North America and Europe, Xaba aims to boost Canadian manufacturing by reshoring production and bridging the skilled labour gap in industrial automation.
