The funds will be used to accelerate product development, expand its presence in the US, and scale enterprise pilots across warehouse automation, industrial robotics, and next-generation autonomous systems. Founded by Ayush Sharma, AuraML is building a generative simulation platform that allows robotics companies to model, test, and deploy systems faster, more safely, and at lower cost. Its technology helps bridge the “sim-to-real” gap faced by traditional simulation tools, offering realistic testing environments for autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and forklifts. AuraML’s simulation capabilities include text-to-world generation, advanced sensor noise modeling for LiDAR and camera data, and scalable cloud-based multi-robot deployment testing. By shifting from physical to virtual testing, AuraML claims to cut timelines from six months and $500,000 to just one week at a fraction of the cost. Its platform, AuraSIM, combines physically accurate 3D environments and synthetic data engines to support scalable, real-world-ready robotics development.
