Most general purpose robot firms don't do well at all, because until very recently, general purpose robotics have fallen short of being useful in general purpose scenarios. Amazon acquired Kiva 13 years ago. Kiva was itself founded and headquartered in the U.S.

- petra 2y agoAcquisition is a common result for sucsessful deep tech startups. It's because scaling in these markets is hard and better done at large companies.
