Rice Robotics and Floki are set to jointly launch the AI-powered companion robot “Minibot M1” that will operate on the RICE AI platform.
Floki is strengthening its efforts in the blockchain field by tokenizing brands and AI data marketplaces through TokenFi.
The AI robotics market is currently sized at 22 billion dollars, but it is projected to grow to 100 billion dollars by 2030, with Rice Robotics expected to experience significant growth.

Floki supports the strengthening of Rice Robotics’ efforts in the blockchain space. Through its sister project TokenFi, which specializes in the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), Floki is advancing the tokenization of marketplaces for brands and AI data with the support of the Floki community.

The Floki team stated to CoinDesk on Telegram that “the AI robotics market is currently estimated to be $22 billion (approximately ¥3.08 trillion, based on an exchange rate of 140 yen to the dollar) and is projected to reach $100 billion (approximately ¥14 trillion) by 2030. Rice Robotics is expected to grow in this high-growth industry.”

RICE AI is a robotics brand with notable clients such as Nvidia, SoftBank, Dubai Future Foundation, Mitsui Fudosan, NTT, and Seven-Eleven. Earlier this year, it raised over $7 million (approximately 980 million yen) in a pre-Series A round from investors including Alibaba Entrepreneurs Fund, Soul Capital, and Audacy Ventures.

RICE AI aims to enhance robot intelligence by building a system where robots around the world can buy and share the highest quality training data. Such robots operate independently without centralized control, becoming more useful entities in the real world.

In line with the overall rise of the cryptocurrency market, the price of Floki has increased by 16% in the last 24 hours.
