New Zealander Harry Mellsop has raised US$4.3 million for his start-up, Antioch, which he says brings artificial intelligence into the physical world.

He explained that Antioch’s tech will allow companies to build new or better AI robots by letting them test new features in software simulations.

Mellsop says this technology will help develop the autonomous driving space, drone technology, the manufacturing sector and several other key industries. 

"I think something that's personally surprised me is a lot of interest from smart security companies, so smart home sensors, to smart doorbells, those sorts of applications as well."
