$Floki has partnered with SoftBank collaborator Rice Robotics to launch the Floki-branded AI companion robot Minibot M1, which operates on the RICE AI platform. $Floki will support the development of blockchain technology through its sub-project TokenFi, gradually achieving tokenization of the brand and AI data marketplace. RICE AI is a robotics brand with well-known clients such as Nvidia, SoftBank, Dubai Future Foundation, Mitsui Fudosan, Japan's NTT, and 7-Eleven. Earlier this year, the company completed over 7 million USD in Pre-Series A funding, with investors including Alibaba Entrepreneurs Fund, Soul Capital, and Audacy Ventures.
