Simplifying robotics - how one British start-up is putting the OLO in YOLO
With all the hype around humanoid machines, physical AI, and robots such as Figure’s 03, Tesla’s Optimus, Unitree’s G1, 1X’s NEO, and Boston Dynamics’ Atlas, it is easy to assume that we are basking in a golden Summer for robotics.
In reality, it is more like the early days of a promising Springtime for the technology. Robotics may be attracting marketers’ eyeballs and investors’ cash, but it may also frustrate their desire for rapid payback. As explained in previous robotics reports, the last things this sector needs are hype and impatient capital.
So, I’ll say it again - robotics is hard. It’s about solving difficult problems with safe, trustworthy, standards-based systems, and that takes time.
Yet, while we are still years away from creating a generally intelligent, multi-purpose robot – because of the vast amounts of data that can only be collected from the physical world or simulated in virtual...
