2024 is going to be a huge year for the cross-section of generative AI/large foundational models and robotics. There’s a lot of excitement swirling around the potential for various applications, ...

Foundation models have made great advances in robotics, enabling the creation of vision-language-action (VLA) models that generalize to objects, scenes, and tasks beyond their training data. However, ...

There have been many advances in vision-language models (VLM) that can match natural language queries to objects in a visual scene. And researchers are experimenting with how these models can be ...

Mark Cuban offered his view of the future of AI and robotics during an appearance this week with the All-In podcast: MARK CUBAN: So, I’ve got two kids in college, and what I tell them is: if you’re ...

Outside of tightly controlled environments, most robotic systems still struggle with reliability, generalization and cost. The gap between what we can demonstrate and what we can operate at scale ...
