1X founder and CEO Berndt Børnich joins us this week to discuss the go to market plans for the NEO Beta humanoid robot.

OpenAI has created a number of large language models (LLM) and image generation models that are revolutionizing robotics.

During a two-week pilot at a plant in Spartanburg, South Carolina, the new Figure 02 humanoid successfully fitted sheet metal parts into precise fittings for BMW.

Figure AI has unveiled Figure 02, its second-generation humanoid, as it takes steps toward commercializing the robot.

University of Bristol researchers have developed dexterous robotic hands using cell phone cameras embedded in gripper fingers to image the interaction between fingertips and objects.

In this episode, we learn what’s new in warehouse inventory management with Gather.ai and motors with ElectroCraft.

OpenAI is creating a new internal robotics research group after pulling back from robotics research in 2021.

OpenAI released two ChatGPT APIs to facilitate product integration. Roboticists and robotics application developers can programmatically utilize speech-to-text capability.

Microsoft researchers use ChatGPT to write computer code that can control a robot arm and an aerial drone.

OpenAI disbands its robotics research team due to lack of large enough data sets to effectively generate reinforcement models.

Covariant, which is developing AI for unassisted industrial robotics applications, has raised $40 million.

By training pair of neural networks to solve a Rubik’s Cube with a single robot hand, OpenAI has demonstrated a new technique called automatic domain randomization, which it said can help solve real-world problems without prior data.

Scale AI has raised Series C funding for its annotation services, which can help train machine learning for its customers. They include leader companies working on self-driving cars, robots, and other systems.

In July 2019, investments in robotics, autonomous vehicles, and drones increased, despite a decline in the number of transactions.

Microsoft is investing $1 billion in OpenAI to build out Microsoft Azure to support artificial general intelligence.
