One of the very interesting challenges with AI models for robotics is the constraints you're working with when deploying models that need to run in realtime on-device.

Sundar Pichai on the robotics opportunity: ⦿ He's impressed by recent humanoid progress - so much so that he sometimes has to look closely to tell if a robot video is real or fake. ⦿ Google initially moved too early into the application layer, but now sees the combination of AI and robotics as the “sweet spot.” ⦿ He believes we’re 2–3 years away from a “magical moment” in robotics. ⦿ Google is working on playing a role similar to Android in robotics - one of its internal bets is already focused on supporting robotics manufacturers. ⦿ Gemini robotics models will work very well - how to productize them is still an open question at the company.

We had an incredible experience at the Kennedy Space Center for the @SpaceForceDoD 75th Anniversary Legacy of Launch Gala! Our robot, ADAM, showcased its cutting-edge AI and robotics capabilities to industry leaders, starred military figures, astronauts, and top investors in the space sector. This event not only marked our company’s first engagement in the space industry, but it also gave us the opportunity to present our robots directly to key decision-makers who can help bring our advanced solutions to Earth-based challenges. We’re excited for the doors this opens for future collaborations in the space and robotics industries. #SpaceForce75 #AI #Robotics #Innovation #SpaceIndustry #LegacyOfLaunch NASA's Kennedy Space Center
