This vital process constitutes around 55% of warehouse operational costs, and businesses must rely on inflexible systems that struggle to adapt to new products and require highly trained staff. PickGPT is the first commercially available robotics transformer that enables robots to understand natural language and accurately perceive their environment. Through a userfriendly chatbot interface, employees without technical expertise can give instructions and perform system maintenance.&nbsp;&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Sereact clientele comprises industry leaders, including ZenFulfillment, Daimler Truck, Material Bank, and Schmalz. The seed funding will facilitate the expansion of the Sereact team, alongside PickGPT&rsquo;s development and international roll-out.&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>&ldquo;I am pleased that with Sereact another start-up from our network has been able to secure its financing&rdquo;, says Julian Enz, Director of Innovation and Economy at Cyber\u00a0Valley. &ldquo;This shows that deep-tech innovation from Baden-W&uuml;rttemberg is in high demand.&rdquo;<\/p><p>&ldquo;By combining large language models and robotics, Sereact has created the world&rsquo;s most accessible way of interacting with robots&rdquo;, says Co-Founder and CEO of Sereact, Ralf Gulde. &ldquo;Today&rsquo;s milestone will accelerate our mission of using fully autonomous robotics to overcome labor shortages, fix supply chains, and boost productivity.&rdquo;&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>The Cyber\u00a0Valley Start-up has impressed investors. &ldquo;The team at Sereact combines a deep understanding of the warehouse operating context with real technical ingenuity&rdquo;, says Nathan Benaich, Founding Partner at Air Street Capital says. &ldquo;As the first business to turn the combination of LLMs and pick-and-pack from an academic possibility to real-world impact, they&rsquo;re building a product that&rsquo;s still only scratching the surface of its potential use cases.&rdquo;&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Ricardo Sequerra Amram, a Partner at Point Nine says: &ldquo;Sereact brings a new paradigm to AI and robotics. By combining vision transformers and LLMs their solution is fast to deploy, easy to configure, and provides the critical service level required by demanding industries like logistics and manufacturing. The research done by Ralf and Marc during their time in academia is now applied to commercial use cases and is currently in production in live environments with top enterprise customers.&rdquo;&nbsp;<br \/>&nbsp;<br \/>Additional seed funders include new and existing angel investors: Alexander Diehl; Oliver&nbsp;Cameron (VP Product of Cruise, Co-Founder of Voyage); the Founders of Proglove and&nbsp;OMA Ventures; Achim Baier and Wolfgang Frank (arconsis); Martin Giese; Michael Achtelik; Jan Stumpf and Daniel Gurdan (Founders of Ascending Technologies); and Mostafa Elsayed (CEO and Co-Founder of Automata).&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p><h4>About Cyber\u00a0Valley<\/h4><p>Cyber\u00a0Valley is Europe&#39;s leading center for excellence in advanced AI and robotics.
