Summary

Today I'm going to be talking about the state of the art of physical intelligence. And I actually spoke at this event a year ago last year, and at the event last year I shared some of our progress at the company at Physical Intelligence where we could do things, really complicated tasks like folding, unloading and folding laundry, and I also talked about how for the first time we showed how robots can do useful tasks

Why listen

It goes beyond the title with direct discussion of like, model, data, including: And in particular, two years ago, I founded a company called Physical Intelligence.

Key takeaways
  1. 01The first is general purpose, how we can develop general purpose models
  2. 02And the second is actually bringing those models to the real world so that they can actually have an impact and be useful to people
  3. 03And if we look at a timeline of major production launches that are leveraging technology like machine learning, we can see a timeline like this
