My conversation with Sergey Levine (Sergey Levine). Sergey is the co-founder of Physical Intelligence -- a company building foundation models that can control any robot to do any task in any environment. The company's thesis is that generality is more scalable than specialization, meaning that a model trained across many different robots and tasks will ultimately outperform any system built to do one thing well (eg, just wash dishes). Sergey is a researcher by background, but I think you will appreciate how practical and commercially grounded this conversation is. We discuss: - Why changing a diaper will be the last task a robot masters - The simulation v. real-world data debate - How multimodal LLMs give robots common sense - Moravec's Paradox + Robot Olympics - Why robots can do long-horizon tasks now - A realistic timeline for robots in our homes I should note that I am an investor in Physical Intelligence -- I made the investment because I believe it is one of the most important companies tackling the problem of robotics.

Karol Hausman is the co-founder and CEO of Physical Intelligence, a robotics company building a general-purpose “AI brain for the physical world.” The company has raised more than $1 billion in funding to develop foundation models that allow robots to operate across many machines, environments, and tasks rather than being programmed for a single purpose. In our conversation, we explore: • The moment a lecture from Sergey Levine convinced him to abandon his PhD research direction and pivot fully to deep learning • The case for building a general “AI brain” for the physical world rather than a single specialized robot • The role of real-world data in training robots, the limits of simulation, and how deployment could create a powerful data flywheel • The unique challenges of physical intelligence and why robots must operate with far higher reliability than language models Thank you to the partners who make this possible - Brex: The intelligent finance platform: - Granola: The app that might actually make you love meetings: Timestamps (00:00) Intro (04:05) Karol’s early fascination with robots (18:21) Karol’s entry point to robotics and PhD program (25:49) Combining robotics with LLMs: The Taylor Swift demo (30:48) The 1970s SHRDLU AI experiment (39:40) How research shapes what Physical Intelligence builds (49:07) The return of reinforcement learning in robotics (1:00:00) NVIDIA’s simulation engines (1:07:31) Compensating for missing senses

.Sergey Levine is one of the world's leading robotics researchers (and co-founder of Physical Intelligence). He thinks fully autonomous robots are much closer than people realize - when I pushed him on a prediction, he said 5 years to robots that can autonomously run your household). The big game changer, in his view, is that we finally have LLMs with common sense and prior knowledge that we can scaffold the robot models around. We get into all the reasons this might not happen, the data flywheel from deployment, architecture, simulation, manufacturing, and much more.

We might be solving the wrong problem in robotics. That’s what this makes clear. UMI → Universal Manipulation Interface A simple $400 gripper that lets you teach robots by demonstration. You hold it like a tool. Show the task. The robot learns. No teleoperation. No expensive hardware. No robot-specific data. Stanford open-sourced everything → hardware, code, datasets. What stands out to me is the bottleneck. Not algorithms. Data. Teleoperation → ~35 demos/hour UMI → ~111 demos/hour And the data transfers across robots → UR5, Franka, others. The design is surprisingly practical: → GoPro fisheye lens (155° FOV) + mirrors for depth → SLAM + IMU for precise 6DoF tracking → latency matching for dynamic tasks → diffusion policies for multimodal actions Then it scales. Cheng Chi takes this further with Sunday Robotics (with Tony Zhao). A $200 glove → deployed in 500+ homes → ~10 million real-world interactions. Not lab data. Real human behavior. Their robot learns dishes, laundry, espresso → with zero robot-specific data. This is where the shift becomes obvious. From training robots in controlled environments → to learning directly from humans at scale So here’s the real question: Will robotics be unlocked by better models… or by unlocking data? #ArtificialIntelligence #Robotics #AI #Innovation #FutureOfWork

Eka means unity -- “one,” in Sanskrit and “first” in Finnish. We’re building intelligence for the physical world in its native language: forces. Until now, robotics faced a tradeoff — generality or speed. The real world requires both. Robotics also faced a data problem. Our Vision–Force–Action (VFA) model — the first of its kind — breaks the generality-speed tradeoff and the data barrier. It's a new foundation uniting performance, generality, and safety for putting capable robots in everyone's hands. Today, I am excited to share our journey of pushing robots beyond human limits. Today, dexterity becomes scalable. Today, I welcome you to the Era of Eka. Co-founded with Tuomas Haarnoja, and so thrilled and grateful to be working with a dream team at Eka Robotics, Inc..

A few months ago we set out to understand exactly how our models can be used to accelerate progress in robotics and other AI systems that don’t just represent the world, but are actually able to interact with it. We’ve been collaborating with leading companies in the space and we’ve developed an initial approach that we're now opening up to accelerate development across the industry. Our fifth announcement is GWM Robotics. GWM Robotics is a learned simulator that generates synthetic data for scalable robot training and policy evaluation, removing the bottlenecks of physical hardware.

🦔Workers in India are wearing head-mounted cameras for 12 cents an hour to collect training data for humanoid robots. The footage of them doing everyday tasks like cooking, cleaning, sorting, and walking through public spaces gets sold to robotics companies building the models meant to replace those same kinds of jobs in higher-wage countries. The arrangement has been running for roughly two years. Workers do not own the data, do not get residuals, and in many cases are not told what their footage is being used to train. My Take The workers wearing the cameras live in a country where robotics automation will hit decades later, so they are training their own future replacements at a delay that hides the consequence from them personally. The companies buying the data are mostly US and Chinese, building humanoid robots aimed at warehouses, retail, and service jobs in countries paying $15 to $25 an hour rather than 12 cents. Robotics companies need motion data that mimics how humans actually move through real environments, and synthetic data has not been good enough yet. Paying 12 cents an hour in Bengaluru is cheaper than running motion capture studios in Boston, and it works at scale because the worker absorbs the cost of the camera, the discomfort of wearing it, and the long-term loss of any rights to their own movement data. The robotics labor market that eventually emerges from this footage will displace far more wages than the data collection cost to gather. That is the trade investors funding humanoid robotics startups are betting will pay off, and the workers in the videos are the ones paying the tab up front. Hedgie🤗

Robot trained entirely in simulation! 🤯 Sudo AI just released #sudo R1. This could be the moment the data bottleneck in robotics finally breaks, a major step forward for getting simulation-trained robots to actually work in the real world. #sudo R1 is a manipulation foundation model that reliably picks objects it has never seen: glass, fabric, metal, irregular shapes. All with zero real-world training data. No tele-op. No demos. No manual labeling. Pure simulation. And picking isn't just any skill, it's the foundation. Almost everything we want robots to do starts with being able to reliably pick something up. Data collection is the bottleneck holding the whole field back. Every new task means hours of tele-op and armies of labelers. If simulation alone can actually deliver production-grade picking, that bottleneck starts to disappear. Really exciting to see! If the results hold, the path to general-purpose robots just got a whole lot shorter. 👇 Read more here: ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Modern AI is confined to the digital world. At Skild AI, we are building towards AGI for the real world, unconstrained by robot type or task — a single, omni-bodied brain. Today, we are sharing our journey, starting with early milestones, with more to come in the weeks ahead. Our Mission: Artificial General Intelligence grounded in the physical world. We believe AGI that can truly understand and reason in the real world can only be built through grounding in the physical world. Our Vision: Any robot, Any task, One brain. We tackle robotics in its full generality – building a continually improving, omni-bodied brain that can control any hardware for any task. Who are we? A passionate group of scientists & engineers driven by our shared vision. We have been researching AI and robotics for more than a decade. Our team includes pioneers of self-supervised learning, curiosity-driven exploration, end-to-end sim2real for visual locomotion, dexterous manipulation, learning from human videos, robot parkour, and many more. Many of these works have won awards at top-tier AI and Robotics conferences. Our team has also built production-ready systems at Anduril, Tesla, Nvidia, Meta, Kitty Hawk, Google, Everyday Robotics, and Amazon. Join us in our mission to build the robot brains of tomorrow.

This week's episode is mostly about robots. Kyle Vogt is one of very few entrepreneurs to found 3 business valued at over a billion dollars - Twitch in 2006, Cruise in 2013, and The Bot Company in 2024. If you've caught any other Uncapped episodes you've probably heard some investors saying that home robots are close and they'll be a giant new market. Kyle Vogt is building them, and talking to him made me as bullish as ever. Timestamps: (0:00) Introduction (0:34) Why robotics is suddenly booming (3:31) Special-purpose vs generalized (5:32) Designing robots people actually use (9:00) Building for scale and affordability (12:17) The myth of humanoids (15:04) Trust, safety, and privacy in your home (17:51) Robotics intelligence (21:01) Why Kyle keeps starting hard companies (22:32) The 100-person rule and elite teams (26:10) How to actually ship (27:28) What home robotics will do first (35:05) Home security and other applications (38:41) Tesla vs Waymo (41:08) When to sell a company (42:41) Marathons
