SoftBank Group Corp. is currently exploring a potential acquisition of Gravis Robotics AG, a move that signals the Japanese investment giant's deepening commitment to the intersection of artificial intelligence and physical automation. According to people familiar with the matter, the deal is being considered as part of SoftBank's broader strategy to secure the foundational AI technologies that power modern robotics.
