Figure creates a system to make large -scale humanoid robots. And of course, there will be robots manufacturing robots

We had something forgotten to robots, but for A few months We don’t stop to return to hear about them. There are important efforts from companies such as Nvidia – who just put All meat on the grill-, Boston Dynamics or Teslabut there is another company that is pushing strong in this sector. It is called Figure, and has just announced a promising project. Botq. This is the name of the mass manufacturing platform of humanoid robots Announced by Figure. The idea is simple: to create a totally oriented infrastructure to that production of high volumes of robots that end up being used in all types of scenarios. 12,000 humanoid robots per year. The first generation of Botq will be able to produce 12,000 humanoid robots a year, but the company highlights that this is only the beginning “and we will climb considerably from there.” Manufacture with vertical integration. The company will control the construction process and its quality to ensure that the robots that end in the market have according to them the highest quality. They have also been working on software solutions for months to attend these high volume manufacturing processes. Robots building robots. The Humanoid Robots of Figure They already caught our attention last summer, and now these robots will participate in the manufacture of other humanoid robots. That, they say, will happen this year, but in addition “the number of humanoid robots involved (in manufacturing) will grow substantially over time to increase the automation of production lines.” By the way: Elon Musk has an identical idea. Figure 03 on the way. Its current humanoid robot was complex both in necessary elements and in manufacturing processes, but with it they have learned how they can reduce the number of components and how to improve production. And more efficient processes. Thus, instead of CNC machines they will use techniques such as injection molding or pressure foundry that allow “thousands of hours of manufacturing.” In fact, in some components that needed a week to be manufactured with CNC machines, times have gone from only 20 seconds.

The future will be full of robots, says Nvidia. And just launch a tools to win that race

by

The event GTC 2025 Nvidia began yesterday with an inaugural talk in which Jensen Huang machine -gunned us with a real Building burst. Among them, especially those focused on an area in which the company is especially optimistic: robotics. Foundational model. In March 2024 NVIDIA He already told us about his Project Grootand now said project has crystallized in the call Isaac Gr00t N1which qualify as the first open foundational model for humanoid robots. That is to say: the model is pretended, but it can be customized for all types of scenarios, both “domestic” and industrial. “The era of generalist robotics is here”. Huang declared how this new era began with this launch, and pointed out that thanks to Isaac Gr00t N1 and new data generation systems and learning for robots, developers can create much more capable robots. Robotic labor. The CEO of Nvidia highlighted how “it is very likely that this is the largest industry of all. At the end of this decade, at least 50 million workers will miss in the world. We would be more delighted to pay $ 50,000 to each one to come to work; we will probably have to pay the robots 50,000 dollars a year (instead).” Humanoid robots in sight. In The last part of your presentation Two and a half hours, the Nvidia CEO focused precisely on robotics, and for example showed videos of humanoid robots Neo gamma of the company 1x, which are based on Isaac Gr00t N1 and that already show their Potential as domestic robots. Other companies like Boston Dynamics –Creators of Atlas-, Quesoe Robotics and Neura Robotics are also developing this type of robots and have enjoyed preliminary access to the Nvidia robotic platform. Think quickly, think slowly. This foundational model uses a double architecture inspired by human cognition. Thus, system 1 is “a fast thinking action model” similar to what humans have with reflexes and intuition. System 2, enhanced by a vision model, is “a model of slow thought” that reasons about its environment and the instructions he receives and then raised his actions. Learning to move. This model therefore raises a pillar to develop robots (humanoids or not) that can operate in the real world. Thus, GR00T N1 can generalize and adapt to common tasks such as taking objects, moving them with one or two arms or carrying them from one place to another. Basic and limited operations are at the moment, but they are an important first step for the robots of the future. Basically these robots are learning to walk. A customizable model. Nvidia offers large information so that developers can start working with this model. Thus, we have both the Technical information Like project files available in Github. And data to train robots. Robots need huge amounts of data to be trained and learn to interact in the physical world. Nvidia ACBA to offer A huge and available data set in Hugging Face for this area. They are 15 TB of data that represent “more than 320,000 trajectories for robotic training”, in addition to 1,000 “scenarios” Scene Description (Openusd) to contribute to that training. Collaboration with Disney and Deepmind. Another of the robotic projects is the alliance with these companies to develop Newtonan Open Source physics engine that allows robots to learn how to manage tasks of all kinds with greater precision. Disney will be one of the first to use these robots, and in fact Huang finished the demo with a unique co -presenter: a robot that he called Blue and that was inspired by the BDX droids of Star Wars. It is something that Disney already pointed out years agoand it is likely that this type of entertainment robots will end in their attraction parks.

China’s robots represent an existential threat to the US, according to semi -health experts

by

“This is a call to action for the US and West. We are on the threshold of a non -linear transformation of The industrial societybut the basis on which US is intense is unstable. Automation and robotics They are going through a revolution which will allow the total automation of all strategic and manufacturing industries. These Smart robotic systems They will be the first industrial piece that will not be complementary, but completely additive: work 24/7 with a performance higher than any human being (…) “. “Currently the only country positioned to capture this level of automation is China, and, if it achieves it without the US to follow the same path, the expansion of production will be exclusive to China, which will represent an existential threat to the US when it is overcome in all its abilities.” This text is signed by Dylan Patel, Reyk Knuhttsen, Niko Ciminelli, Jeremie Eliahou Ontiveros, Joe Ryu and Robert Ghilduta, six experts from SEMIANALYSIS. This American consultant specializes in the analysis of the semiconductor industries and the artificial intelligence (AI), and their studies are usually reasonably accurate. China’s technological and scientific development rhythm is overwhelming The lines of the semi -toalysis report that I just mentioned contain a lot of interesting information, but without a doubt the most forceful reflection of how many they put on the table is none other than the great capacity that China has in the technological, scientific, and, of course, economic. It is evident that they all go hand in hand, but this attention call will hardly take off the US administrations and Western countries. We can be sure that their slow reflexes is not caused by ignorance. China has the necessary capacity and resources to dispute its world leadership position to the US The US government led by Joe Biden openly recognized the document that collects its National Security Strategy October 2022 that China has the necessary capacity and resources To dispute the US Its world leadership position. The social, economic, military and technological development that the country led by Xi Jinping has experienced during the last two decades supports this conclusion. The following literal extract of this document reflects very clearly why the US government considers China a threat: “The Popular Republic of China (RPC) is the only competitor that has both the intention of remodeling international order and, increasingly, the economic, diplomatic, military and technological capacity to do so. Beijing has the ambition to create a wide sphere of influence in the regions of the Indian and the Pacific, as well as to become the leading world power.” These lines perfectly condense the background history that has triggered The international situation in which we are. Anyway, as we have just seen, semi -health experts emphasize the development of robotics and automation technologies in China. In their text they do not speak of the possibility that the country of Xi Jinping use Robots for military applications; What they maintain is that this technology represents an existential threat to the US Due to its ability to radically transform the industrial model of which not only the country currently led by Donald Trump, but also Japan, South Korea, Taiwan or a good part of European countries, among other nations. At the current situation, staying behind in strategic field like this is not an option.

Gemini Robotics is his plan for robots to act in the real world

by

Robotics and artificial intelligence (AI) go hand in hand. It would be useless to develop humanoid robots capable of lifting tons, with state -of -the -art sensors, if we did not have an intelligent system that would allow them to interpret the environment and act accordingly. Without ia, a modern robot would be little more than a lot of sophisticated but useless hardware. They are the Advanced algorithms Those who transform that gross power into machines capable of learning, optimize their performance and respond autonomously to the challenges that are presented to them. From Asimothe iconic Honda robot of the 2000 Sophia, Tesla optimus either FigureAI has made its way in humanoid robotics. However, we are still far from seeing machines that really match the versatility of the human body. As advanced as they are, they still have trouble moving in un controlled environments and manipulating everyday objects can be a real challenge. Gemini Robotics: Google’s bet to take AI to the physical world Meanwhile, in the digital world, AI advances at a completely different rate. He is already able to hold conversations very close to those of a person, overcome exams with surprising scores and solve complex problems with a speed that until a few years ago seemed science fiction. A contrast that makes it clear that, although artificial intelligence progresses by leaps and bounds, there is still much Way to go in its integration with robotics. These challenges are leading to a new generation of AI models specifically for this discipline. Google, as expected, does not want to be left behind and already works on solutions that promise to take humanoid robots one step further. His bet goes through Gemini 2.0, that now has two versions designed to improve the interaction and control of these machines. On the one hand, Gemini Robotics It focuses on vision, language and action (VLA), which allows you to take direct control of robots and improve your response capacity in dynamic environments. On the other, Gemini Robotics-Er It is designed for robotics experts, giving them the necessary tools to develop and execute their own programs with advanced reasoning skills. Gemini Robotics-Er stands out in spatial reasoning with detection and signaling of 3D objects Google has identified three essential qualities that, as they explain, must have robots to be really useful for people. Generality. A good robot should not only execute predefined tasks, but also adapt to unpublished situations and solve problems on the march. It must be able to function in new environments, handle unknown objects and interpret varied instructions without depending on prior training. According to internal tests, its performance in unforeseen tasks far duplicates that of other vision-language models-last generation. Interactivity In a world in constant change, robots must be able to communicate naturally and respond to real -time instructions. Gemini Robotics includes commands in everyday language and in multiple languages, adapting their behavior according to conversation or environment. In addition, it continually monitors what happens around it and adjusts its actions based on new orders or changes in the stage. Skill. Many tasks that humans perform effortlessly require extremely precise motor skills, something that most robots have not yet managed to dominate. Gemini Robotics, however, is capable of performing complex tasks of several steps that require a thorough manipulation, such as folding Origami or packing a snack in a Ziploc bag, demonstrating a higher level of skill. Gemini Robotics not only stands out in the resolution of unforeseen tasks, but its generalization capacity far as the performance of other vision-language-action models. According to Google’s technical reportis able to adapt to unpublished scenarios and make decisions without prior training, bringing robots to real autonomy. In addition, it has been designed to function with different types of robots. Although he trained mainly with Aloha 2, a two -arms platform, he has also proven to control systems such as arms Frankaused in laboratories, and even more advanced humanoids such as Apollo, developed by Apptronik. Its flexibility makes it a model adaptable to various applications, from industry to assistance. For now, there is no scheduled date for a generalized deployment of Gemini Robotics or Gemini Robotics-Er. Technology is still developing and, for the moment, only a small group of companies is having access to these tools. Google Deepmind is collaborating with Apptronik in the construction of the next generation of humanoid robots, exploring how to integrate these models of AI in more advanced systems. In addition, some trusted tests, such as Agile Robots, Agility Robotics, Boston Dynamics and Enchanted Toolsthey are already testing Gemini Robotics-Er, although it is not clear if that access will be expanded in the future. Meanwhile, Google Deepmind continues to work on new security frames and benchmarks to evaluate the possible risks of AI in physical environments. All this makes it clear that, although the project progresses, there is still a long way before this technology reaches the general public.

thousands of robots with a cat’s face

by

Japan is turning its services with thousands of cat -looking robots that transport dishes and glasses in more than 2,000 restaurants. It is not something that we have not seen in certain Spanish restaurants, but In Japan it is being much more accentuated in capillarity and capabilities of these robots. It is a country’s response to a perfect demographic storm: its population is aged and is getting more and more, and has a serious shortage of labor. Why is it important. These robots do not replace humans completely, but work together with them, allowing older or foreign people – immigration is key to covering work scarcity – can do work that would otherwise be too demanding at physical or linguistic level. Skylark Holdings, the largest restaurant chain with Japan table service, has deployed about 3,000 robots-gate Equipped with 3D sensors, dozens of facial expressions and ability to transport heavy dishes. In figures. The service robot market in Japan will triple its value in the next five yearsreaching 400,000 million yen (2.7 billion dollars) in 2030. worldwide, the sector already moves 17.2 billion dollars annually. Japan has the lowest unemployment rate among OECD countries, 2.4%. By 2040 it will have a deficit of eleven million workers. Almost 40% of the Japanese population will be 65 years or older in 2065. In the hospitality sector, there are three vacancies for each job applicant. Between the lines. The robotic solution responds to a government strategy. The Japanese government is actively promoting the hiring of foreign workers and encouraging companies to retain employees over 65 years of age through subsidies. Skylark This transformation illustrates well: it uses more than 4,000 workers over 65 years (almost double that in 2020) and has increased its percentage of part -time part -time personnel up to 3.3% (compared to 2.6% in 2020). Yasuko Tagawa, 71, works twenty hours a week at a taste in Tokyo. “My work is no problem when I work with robots,” he explains while cleaning tables. Approximately half of their tasks are now performed with machine assistance. “At my age it becomes more difficult to move,” he acknowledges Bloomberg. Beyond the hospitality. The robotic revolution is not limited to restaurants. The careful care sector, which provides for a deficit of 570,000 caregivers by 2040, is quickly adopting these technologies. In the residence Flos Higashi-Kojiya de Tokyo, caregivers have been using automated devices for years To lift residents, monitor the behavior of people with dementia and facilitate communication. Sensors under mattresses record sleep, heart rate and breathing, showing real -time data that allow staff to supervise forty residents of a look. Yes, but. Despite their potential, service robots have limitations and initial investment can be prohibitive for some companies. They cannot completely replace human judgment or essential interpersonal skills in many works in the services sector. However, for Yasuko Tagawa, the future with his companions Robot-Gato is promising: “Perhaps they can also help in the kitchen,” he says while caressing one of the robots. “Thank you for your work. I will tell you.” In Xataka | Amira is the most disturbing MWC: an ultra -rear robot with synthetic skin that reacts to us Outstanding image | Gankilyuu

China is openly promoting the development of humanoid robots as its next great technological revolution after its success with electric cars. A few days ago, according to NikkeiShenzen activated a plan that includes financing and political support to promote advances in components, AI chips and biomimetic technologies. Why is it important. It is a movement that coincides and much with Elon Musk’s plans with Tesla, whose Optimus robot It could begin its production at the end of this year, first for internal use and then to market from 2026. This convergence has a lot to do with the entrance of Tesla in China and the effect it had when transforming its electric car industry. In figures. 56% of the 100 traded companies dedicated to robotics are based in China, according to A Morgan Stanley report. In addition, 45% of companies that customize robots for the end user are Chinese. The context. This plan is accompanied by several similar initiatives since 2023. Shanghai wants to create a 1 billion yuan robotics industry (about 137,000 million dollars) this year. While, Beijing has announced a fund of 13,000 million dollars for robotics and a humanoid innovation center. Paul Gong, head of automotive research at UBS Investment Bank, Describe To Musk as the “spiritual leader” of the sector, a paper that also played with electric vehicles. “The introduction of the concept of humanoid robot has led many Chinese companies to explore this address,” he says. The threat. The intensification of geopolitical tensions could have consequences. Lu Hanchen, director of Shenzhen Gaogong Industry Research, warns that the United States could restrict the export of optimus robots to China and block the entry of Chinese humanoid robots into the US market, referring to concerns about data security and data management. And now what? According to Bernstein Research projectionshumanoid robots could reach: By 2025: less than 10 million units for entertainment, R&D and education. By 2028: tens of millions for specific tasks in general environments. By 2035: more than 100 million for general tasks in hospitals and restaurants. By 2050: more than 1,000 million performing most human work. The collaboration with Chinese suppliers will be basic for Tesla. At the same time, Chinese companies will move trying to reduce foreign component dependence. It is an interesting paradox: Washington and Beijing have an increasingly tense relationship, but at the same time their industrial ecosystems remain intertwined. The race for humanoid robots is intuited as another scenario in which mutual dependence and atrocious competition between both blocks will have to live together. And the figure of Musk will win integers in that clash. In Xataka | Unitree is one of the Chinese technological jewels.

We already have so many “humanoid” robots that it costs to differentiate some of the tros. This chart fixes it

We are determined to create robots that look like us. It all started in 1980 with a original Boston Dynamics that already had prototypes of robots capable of Give mortal jumps and walk to Pata Cojawith designs that would later be recovered for wonders such as Spot. The industry has advanced a lot in these 30 years and of those robots almost from the science fiction of the 80s, we have moved to humanoid robots with amazing abilities. And in this graph prepared by Visual Capitalist We can see some of the most representative in recent months: Police photo. The Boston Dynamics HD Atlas was the one that began this fever for humanoid robots. We have seen it do everything, but life is hard and The time for retirement arrived. A new generation, the new Atlas, stronger and capable of its joints, reached the company’s testing field now owned by Hyundaibut as can be seen in the graph, it is not very different from the rest of the competitors. Chinese models are missing. In this kind of police file, we have a majority presence of American robots, being the PHOENIX of Sanctuary AI and the H1 of Unitree the only ones who are not Americans. And yes, it is true that US companies are very focused on the creation of these devices, but many China models are missing. The Asian giant is immersed in a technological revolution (despite the severe western restrictions) and has within its borders companies that They are competing Not only to create robots to integrate into your society, but do it on a large scale. One of the maximum exponents, apart from the UNITREE H1, is the Agibot company with the models A2 and A2 Max. Like Americans, they have a IA processor that allows you to collect data from abroad and act accordingly. In addition, these models are multimodal, so they also understand information provided through text or audio. There are also the Robothera Star1 (considered the fastest in the world), the Ubtech Walker S1 or the GR-1 of Fourier Intelligence. China wants to work. Despite all those absences, it is clear that we have been seeing demonstrations of these robots for years, but few examples of them performing the work for which they have been programmed in the real world (with exceptions like BMW’s figure). It is precisely China where the accelerator are most treading at the moment due to the need. The GR-1, for example, was programmed to exercise as a nurse with the aim of responding to a need: The country is increasingly old And there is no generational relief capable of taking care of their elders, or who wants work in some industries. The intention of the country It is to create a National Network of Services for the Elderly in 2029 with the aim that all older citizens have access to basic services. Among the tasks of these robots, are domestic services, health monitoring or emotional company. But we can not only talk about humanoid robots, since China too He is testing robots ‘Lazarillos’ And it has its own spot working as a mobile paper. 2025 looks like the year. The interesting thing is that, beyond the tests in some scenarios in China and the United States, the main players in this segment are clear that 2025 should be the year in which the explosion of robots begins. At the end of 2024, Agibot said they were ready for their robots to take the streets thanks to 1,000 models produced; Tesla wants to produce in mass Optimus gen 2 This 2025, with between 50,000 and 100,000 units Facing 2026 And the Chinese government itself marked 2025 as a target year so that the robots of their companies are available to buy. I, robot. There are many other companies, such as the Norwegian 1x with their Neo Beta and Neo Gamma whose objective will be to clean the house that are also in this wave of robotics, but beyond the companies that aspire to create mass robots this 2025, there are others that want to get into the car in one way or another. An example is goal, Mark Zuckerberg’s company that is betting strongly to the development of artificial intelligence and that, precisely, wants Its AI is the brain of some of these robots. And, speaking of great technological ones, We have Apple’s examplewhich also seems to be looking for the way to put the leg in the home robot segment, with a device similar to An iPad with robotic arm First and humanoid robots as a final objective. In the end, as we say, after years of demonstrations, it seems that 2025 will be the year in which robots will cease to be simple fair attractions to integrate into our day to day.

Unitree is one of the Chinese technological jewels. He wants to do with robots the same thing Xiaomi did with mobiles

by

In advanced robotics are Boston Dynamics or Tesla who monopolizes the headlines, but a Chinese company is following an alternative path to end up being The next big one of the robotic sector: Unitree. Founded in 2016 in Hangzhou, on the East China coast, it follows a strategy that reminds a lot of that of Xiaomi in its beginnings: Try to offer the best possible technology at demolition prices. Thus Xiaomi conquered countries like Spain and thus tries to make a hole in world robotics. Of course, the prices of this type of robots have nothing to do with those of a Redmi. Value proposal The price difference is large. One of Boston Dynamics’s most famous robots, Spot, costs about $ 75,000. The unitree Go2, relatively similar, It is sold for 1,600 in its cheapest mode. This strategy has allowed him to dominate the square robot market, where he already has a 40% market share according to the Gaogong Institute. The most important thing is not so much the price and what it implies: A paradigm shift in the way of selling advanced robotics. Other manufacturers focus their robots as premium products for companies or for armies. Unitree understands them as massive technology. Or almost. After quadruped robots, the big challenge is in the bipeds. The humanoids. And there Unitree has his G1 modelwhich sells for $ 16,000. A lot of money, but quite less than what is expected that costs the Tesla optimus. Image: Unitree. Its specifications: Height of 1.32 meters (approximately a nine -year -old child). Weight of 35 kilos. Race speed of 2 meters per second (7.2 kilometers per hour, equivalent to a very slow trot). Lidar 3D. Intel Realsense depth chamber (only this component is already worth $ 1,300 in the free market). Advanced voice control. Beyond specifications, G1 is an example of the Pragmatic Approach of Unitree: it does not seek spectacular demos of its humanoid robotics, but the ability to produce them in mass. It is no accident that Unitree has left Hanghzou. From there they have come out Many other technological ones And it is in fact the headquarters of Alibaba. It is the place where Capital, talent and manufacturing converge. Hangzhou is one of the vertices of what we could call the Chinese technological trianglenext to Shenzhen and Shanghai. And within Hanghzou, Unitree is one of the calls “Six small dragons“: The six startups that are emerging in AI and Robotics. Of course, another of the Dragoncitos is Deepseek. To understand Unitree’s strategic importance: it was One of the 18 companies chosen by Xi Jinping For the technological symposium of a few days ago with Deepseek, Huawei, Byd, Tencent, Xiaomi, Catl … a sign of power and faith. The founder’s enigma The founder of Unitree is Wang Xingxingsomeone who breaks several stereotypes: He studied at the University of Science and Technology of Zhejiang, a respectable but not first level institution. Many founders of their generation did study in elite centers or abroad. He was never a brilliant student … Not much less. Xingxing itself admitted that He could not enter the University of Zhejiang (more prestigious) for not having enough English level. After spending a couple of months in DJIthe giant of the droneshe was encouraged to launch his own company. And he said In an interviewthe beginnings were hard: “During the first three years there were times when we couldn’t even pay salaries.” Again, a modest beginning that contrasts with the usual pattern of high -profile Chinese startups, which usually start with large rounds of financing and management equipment from large technological ones. This is the case of Xpeng, Child either Bytedance. Wang, on the other hand, started practically from scratch, sleeping for a month on a friend’s couch. His vision was also atypically modest for a Chinese technological founder. Instead of distilling excessive ambition with a certain grandiloquence, he set a simple objective: to get anyone to have a robot at home. At the moment he is not going wrong with that idea. The challenges to grow Despite its good tour to this day, it remains a lot to solve for the future. Starting with autonomy. Their humanoid robots have for about two hours of useinsufficient for prolonged use. And the guarantee is Only eight monthssomething that can deter more than one buyer from products several thousand dollars. How to offer adequate technical service when something goes to a client from anywhere in the world is another unknown. And of course, it remains to be seen if these robots can do real domestic tasks, completely, without requiring human help or auction, in such different environments as the home of each consumer. Very different to do so in a demo in a controlled environment. Million’s question is If Unitree’s business model will be sustainable in the long term. Prices remain low thanks to vertical integration and their physical closeness with the Chinese supply chain, but advanced robotics in 2025 is an insatiable investment plaintiff in R&D. And do it with tight margins complicates the equation. Future unknowns on the margin, Unitree represents well to A new generation of Chinese technology: Those that compete around the world with tight prices and a very pragmatic approach, more focused on assuming tedious tasks than in making us crack our eyebrows with magic tricks. Now, its success – or its failure – can end up determining whether advanced robotics ends up becoming a technology for the masses … or if you stay in a premium niche product. At the moment, Unitree has shown that there is a certain market for advanced robotics when it is offered at mundane prices. Now you will have to show that you can keep the accelerator pedal tread.

The next generative AI revolution will not reason better, but integrate into physical robots. And will change robotics forever

In the technological world we are fascinated with chatbots who write essays and take their time reasoning. Grok 3 goes, Claude 3.7 It comes, meanwhile, something less visible but deeper is happening: The beginning of the merger between conversational and mechanical bodies. For the first time, robots not only execute preprogrammed instructions. Now also, in their own way, they understand. Historically, robotics and AI have followed separate paths. Parallel, but separate. Industrial robots were as accurate as stupid. AI systems are intelligent, but incorporeal. Let’s think about robotic arms that have existed on assembly lines for decades. Millimetrically exact, but absolutely lost If a single component appeared in a position slightly different from that expected. The new generation of robots connected to LLMS You can now interpret ambiguous instructions, such as “bring me something for thirst”, and solve the problem through reasoning (word of the year), evaluating which drinks are available, if the user showed preference for some and even if there is ice in the freezer. We no longer program specific movements, but rather general objectives. Figure robots are good examples. So good that even They work autonomously at a BMW factory. According to The company has just publishedthey can even receive generic verbal instructions, such as collecting pieces, and without the need for previous specific programming are able to visually analyze the environment and detect them. They can even pause, reassess the situation and correct the error if someone modifies the pieces. This contextual adaptation capacity was unthinkable a couple of years ago. The really groundbreaking of this impaired in robots is that You can learn very differently. The LLMS trained with text lack the physical understanding of the world. Traditional robots lack contextual intuition. By merging them an intelligence that includes both semantics and physics. A robot equipped with LLMS is not only able to understand the instruction “opens that box without damaging its content”, but can improvise before boxes never seen, evaluating materials, closures and fragilities. The revolution, unfortunately, will not be spectacular as in The novelty-fictionbut it will arrive in the form of robotic arms in factories that can be reconfigured with a verbal order. Or warehouse robots that will understand contextual priorities. Or medical assistants capable of interpreting non -verbalized needs of their patients. Boston Dynamics, the Non-Va-Más de la Robotica during this last decade thanks to your robots jumping and doing Parkourshe is no longer as interested in acrobatics as in integrating understanding systems that allow her machines Understand complex instructions in construction and industry environments. You just have to see Your website. And on the horizon look The Tesla optimus or the Cyberone de Xiaomi. Or unitree like One of the great Chinese technological bets. The big change will come When these systems stop failing before the unforeseen and begin to apply general principles of physical and contextual reasoning. We are not seeing the birth of artificial consciousness, but the understanding of the physical world and the world of meaning in a single integrated system. What this powerful convergence does is its silent nature. He catches us arguing On whether Grok 3 deserves a better product or about itself Chatgpt 4.5 It will be sufficient during the remaining of the year, but Robots are beginning to understand the world like us. Not only by calculating a trajectory, but understanding intentions, contexts and meanings. That is much more transformative and valuable than Any ten -page trial generated in seven minutes.

His new great bet are advanced humanoid robots, according to Bloomberg

After getting rid of 5% of its workforce at the beginning of the yearMeta has created a team destined to develop its next great ambition: humanoid robots driven by artificial intelligence (AI). The news comes from Bloombergwhich states that the company led by Mark Zuckerberg will make a “significant investment” this new project. The sources point out that androids will be able to interact with users and will help them perform daily tasks. Goal aspires that its technology helps overcome current barriers where robots have certain limitations to wear a glass of water without scattering, placing them dishes on a shelf to clean them or bend clothes. A team within reality labs Instead of creating a new division, the giant of social networks has decided Metaversoglasses Quest 2, Quest 3 and Quest Proas well as smart glasses Ray-Ban Meta. The initiative will be led by Marc Whittenwho until recently served as CEO of the Cruise Autonomous Vehicle Company owned by General Motors. He previously led the Amazon entertainment devices division and worked for 17 years in Microsoft, where he was an engineer of the original Xbox team.
