Humanoid robots continue to evolve quickly, and we're following every step and innovation by all of the companies. If you weren't aware, we have a Humanoid Playlist on our YouTube channel that you should follow, as we add every new humanoid video to the feed. It's an easy way to keep up with what the manufacturers are doing to push the innovation envelope. Here's the link to the playlist: https://lnkd.in/gNaMfFac

🤖 Always good to see Mike Oitzman with The Robot Report! 🤖 He got some valuable insights at NVIDIA GTC on where physical AI in robotics is headed from James Davidson, Chief AI Officer with Teradyne Robotics. 🎤 A conversation including stories on James' fascinating background in AI researching lifelong robot learning on navigation, manipulation & grasping, and simulation-to-reality transfer - to just mention a few topics discussed. We look forward to reading and listening to Mike's takeaways in upcoming articles and podcasts. 👉 In the meantime, here's a rundown on the five new AI-powered robotic applications that Mike witnessed at GTC - applications developed in record time by Groundlight AI AICA SA Acumino T-robotics 3D Infotech using Universal Robots' new AI Accelerator Tool Kit developed with NVIDIA libraries.
