Most autonomy stacks never make it into real factories. Ours do. We’re bringing Physical AI into production in Munich - and we’re hiring for our Autonomy Team. See below.

Norbert Wiener (1894-1964), who coined the term "Cybernetics" and is the father of modern control theory, was also the first AI doomer. At a time when a "bug" was an actual animal that had caused a malfunction in computer wires, he constructed the first robots that could crouch towards light, or avoid it. He warned that deriving causal relationships from data be better done by a trained statistician. And in his late years, starting in 1960, he wrote several works about potential threats if machine goals and human goals are misaligned - with arguments that sound very similar to what has been put up these days, 65 years later. newsletter.pessimistsarchive… Some Moral and Technical Consequences of Automation (1960) - original PDF gwern.net/doc/reinforcement-… God & Golem, Inc.

Meanwhile I have utmost respect about the decision, with the inevitably limited amount of time to test wear on this piece, to take the decision to produce this, like, a billion times

Prediction: Claude will soon provide the majority of business apps and will become a system you never have to leave, for better or worse

Big milestone on a journey to transform how robots are used in the industry: Through physical AI.

Are legs the solution for robot mobility in the industry context? In our latest RobTalk episode I‘m talking with our staff research engineer Felix Frank about his experience developing humanoids and where we stand (or rather: walk) on the topic. youtu.be/9dIbqFdj8is
