Robotics + AR/VR is a match made in heaven. No better way to share spatial context. This is a glimpse into what Anduril can accomplish now that they’re taking over the IVAS (US military XR headset) project. The future is multi-modal and multi-domain. https://x.com/bilawalsidhu/status/1889754240786014354
Real-time demonstration of how far we’ve come with multimodal AI + robotics: this robot understands the voice command and delicately handle a clementine. The LeRobot team is crushing it! https://x.com/fdaudens/status/1889631723316506675
Apple is exploring both humanoid and non-humanoid robots for its future smart home ecosystem, and these products are still in the early proof-of-concept (POC) stage internally.
