SiMa.ai announced it received a strategic investment from Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ: MU) to support scaling of its Physical AI solutions for edge applications including robotics, autonomous systems, and industrial automation.

The investment strengthens collaboration between the companies around compute and memory architectures designed for edge applications. SiMa.ai has integrated Micron's LPDDR5X memory into its Modalix MLSoC platform, according to the company's statement.

The partnership targets Physical AI applications where systems perceive, reason, and act in real-time. SiMa.ai's technology supports Large Language Models and Vision Language Models at the edge through what the company describes as a sophisticated memory hierarchy.

"Physical AI places extraordinary demands on memory and Micron's LPDDR5X technology is the ideal memory foundation for our Modalix MLSoC," said Krishna Rangasayee, CEO and founder of SiMa.ai.

Andrew Byrnes, Director of Venture Capital at Micron, stated: "Physical AI requires a new approach to memory architectures that balance high bandwidth with power efficiency, enabling systems to perceive, reason, and act in real-time."

SiMa.ai offers System-on-Modules featuring Micron memory that can integrate into existing platforms for robotics, industrial automation and autonomous vehicles. The company's technology partners include Arm (LSE: 0ADF), Cerence AI, L&T Technology Services Limited, Synopsys, TSMC, and Wind River.

The San Jose, California-based company focuses on Physical AI applications across robotics, automotive, industrial automation, aerospace and defense, smart vision, and healthcare sectors. The investment amount was not disclosed in the announcement.
