AMC Robotics invests in Etronium AI through equity agreements

AMC Robotics Corporation (NASDAQ: AMCI) announced it has entered into two Simple Agreements for Future Equity with Etronium AI Inc., a North Carolina-based company developing artificial intelligence frameworks for hardware integration. The investments were made on April 7, 2026 and May 19, 2026, according to a company statement.

Etronium AI was co-founded by Duke University professors Hai "Helen" Li and Tingjun Chen. The company develops technology that enables AI systems to write, deploy and test code directly on physical hardware through what it calls hardware-in-the-loop workflows.

The platform uses large language models to allow AI agents to interact with physical devices, supporting firmware development, device monitoring and testing across various microcontrollers and operating systems. Etronium AI reports its platform delivers a 30-50% reduction in time-to-prototype and 40-60% reduction in integration effort.

Sean Da, Chairman and CEO of AMC Robotics, stated the technology addresses time-consuming aspects of robotics development by validating AI performance against live hardware rather than simulation alone. He indicated the capability could accelerate development of AMC's Kyro quadruped robotic platform and NovaArm warehouse logistics robot.

Each SAFE agreement entitles AMC Robotics to receive equity in Etronium AI upon qualifying future events including equity financing, liquidity events or dissolution, subject to the terms of the respective agreements. AMC Robotics filed copies of the agreements with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

AMC Robotics develops AI-driven robotics solutions focused on autonomous mobility and AI-powered perception for industrial applications.
