Physical Intelligence's π₀, a general-purpose robot foundation model that combines Internet-scale vision-language pretraining with robot interaction data to execute tasks. They aim "to develop foundation models that can control any robot to perform any task" Autonomous demos:

According to a media report from last week, the San Francisco-based startup is in talks to raise $300 million at a valuation of around $2 billion. The company was co-founded earlier this year by Karol Hausman, who previously worked on robotics at Google DeepMind.

Paper:

Policy 0? Is it 0 short learning?

It is, and PI (π) stands for Physical Intelligence.

these are amazing times, thanks for all the news and clips, I share them to my Robot fans and tag you under each share, let's go forward together everyone, and reach for the stars 🇺🇲🚨

Just make them humanoid.

General laundry and folding is a monstrous challenge in machine learning. Many have failed for years. It will be literally on par with the moon landing if achieved.

By the time robots can fold clothing at 1x speed and put them away, perhaps we will have smart materials that stay clean, crease free, change texture/colour and are waterproof, breathable and delightfully comfortable to wear... Have a look at those millions of new alpha materials

Form factor aside. That is incredible autonomy. Wow!

Wow, nice demo!
