Floki Teams Up with Rice Robotics, Linked to Softbank, for AI Data Tokenization

Floki Teams Up with Rice Robotics for AI Data Tokenization and New Robot Launch

Rice Robotics, a prominent AI robotics company with notable clients like Nvidia, Softbank, and Mitsui Fudosan, has partnered with Floki, a blockchain project known for its dog-themed utility. The two companies are joining forces to introduce the Minibot M1, an AI-powered robot built on the RICE AI platform.

This collaboration signals a major step for Floki as it aligns with the rapidly advancing AI and high-performance computing (HPC) industries. In addition to the robot launch, Floki will also play a key role in Rice Robotics’ tokenization efforts through TokenFi, a platform designed to tokenize and decentralize AI data, making it accessible for broader applications.

“The AI robotics market is expanding at an unprecedented pace, expected to reach $100 billion by 2030. Rice Robotics is poised to lead in this field, and we are excited to support them in this journey,” said a Floki spokesperson.

Rice Robotics recently raised $7 million in a pre-Series A funding round, attracting investors such as Alibaba Entrepreneurs Fund and Soul Capital. This funding will be used to accelerate the development of their cutting-edge robotics solutions.

The partnership aims to revolutionize how robots learn and operate by enabling them to autonomously exchange high-quality training data, thus driving the evolution of smarter and more efficient machines.

In reaction to the announcement, Floki tokens have surged 16% in value over the past 24 hours, reflecting strong market enthusiasm about the collaboration and its future prospects.
