AI Is Helping Robotics Move Faster
I can’t wait to get my hands on a copy of the new dev kit from Hugging Face. But what’s most striking here is how AI is finally bridging the gap to bring general-purpose robotics to life.
It’s easy to miss the investment, but under the hood, every major AI developer is quietly figuring out how to teach models not just to understand our world but to interact with it. That means moving from generating text or images to transforming what they “see” or “understand” into actions, like a robotic arm that can pick up a box or a humanoid that can fold your laundry.
As AI-powered robotics becomes more common, it’s easy to imagine a workplace where robots are as ubiquitous as laptops. Just like a human, you can give them a prompt or an instruction set, or have them watch you do a task once, and they’ll repeat it effortlessly, at a cost humans simply can’t match. These systems can work 24/7, needing only electricity to keep them moving.
The doors that AI opens here are tremendous, and much closer than you might think
