Working with Physical Intelligence, we are bringing general purpose robotics models into the places that need them most —- the factories that make things we all need and use. 150 factories using Formic robots and counting!

we started @goformic with the fundamental conviction that robot intelligence will get better and cheaper rapidly. But deploying at scale required building out physical infrastructure, capabilities and customer trust to deliver high performance. We’ve now earned the trust of customers across hundreds of sites; where we are delivering 99%+ uptime day-in day-out.

The best robots in the world are not doing backflips - they’re boring and reliable. We’ve seen through real deployment experience that this will need to be a MIX of specialist and general purpose robots. And we’re excited to be able to bring BOTH - to solve customers biggest problems.

Robotics users are pragmatic — they want whatever works. — not just cool demos.

@physical_int Congrats!! 150 factories is a ton of real floor time. Are you running the Pi models cloud-hosted or on-site? Pi's writeup flagged connectivity as an issue for some deployments and factory wifi is not always a friend

@physical_int Congrats. So how the latency is handheld on API?

@physical_int Any interest in different grippers if they were faster lead time and cheaper?

@physical_int manger at Amazon would shoot me on sight if he see me work this slowly . Fuck out of here . Cheapest labor always going to be human labor because you can gonna threaten to replace them with this crap and people have can take that pay or just starve or gamble

We need to get out of this mindset that wars are won by soldiers alone. They're won by supply chains, factories and the country behind them. That's the conversation we need to have.

One of the biggest surprises in AI over the last few years has been how well coding agents generalize beyond software. In a recent essay, MIT professor Philip Isola argued that we may be entering the era of robot-use agents: general-purpose models that can control different robots, write policies, and learn new physical tasks with little or no robot-specific training. In this episode of Decoded, we're joined by the founders of Waddle Labs and Robocurve PBC, two of the startups whose work helped drive this realization. They're working at the frontier of using general-purpose models to control robots, and their recent demos helped inspire the growing conversation around robot-use agents. Together, we dig into the research behind that idea, from code-as-policies and vision-language-action models to the harnesses and evals needed to make these systems work in the real world. 00:00 — What Are Robot-Use Agents? 02:11 — From Vision-Language-Action Models to General LLMs 04:07 — The Bitter Lesson for Robotics 07:04 — How Coding Agents Learned to Control Robots 10:41 — How Robots Learn From Experience 14:22 — The Harness as a Form of Robot Intelligence 16:14 — Watching Astra Control a Robot 20:55 — Why General Models May Win in Robotics 26:05 — How Close Are General-Purpose Robots?

We will not use taxpayers' money to fund a cathedral that has no benefit to the ordinary Ghanaian. NEVER! We need schools, hospitals, factories, and Good roads 💪

Robots can already fold laundry, make espresso, clean kitchens, and assemble things. The harder problem is getting them to do those tasks reliably, for long periods of time, without a human babysitting them. At Startup School 2026, Physical Intelligence cofounder Chelsea Finn explains what it takes to build general-purpose robots that work in the real world. She shares how reinforcement learning pushed robot throughput up 2x, how their systems can run autonomously for hours, and why she believes robotics is entering its GPT era: moving from specialized models toward general-purpose systems that can work across tasks, robots, and environments. 00:00 — The State of Physical Intelligence 01:23 — What It Takes to Make Robots Useful 05:11 — The Reliability Problem 07:43 — Reinforcement Learning for Robotics 09:35 — Learning From Failures 12:43 — Training Robots to Improve Themselves 14:21 — Can a Robot Work for 13 Hours Straight? 17:36 — Why Robots Need Memory 21:22 — Building a General-Purpose Robot 25:02 — From Fine-Tuning to Out-of-the-Box Models 27:35 — Training on All the Data 30:20 — One Model That Beats the Specialists 31:21 — Compositional Generalization 37:49 — The GPT Era of Robotics 39:49 — Q&A

I visited the world's #1 humanoid robotics company in Shanghai. Most robotics demos are scripted, controlled, and secretly operated by humans. This 3-year-old company shipped 10,000 robots last year. Into real factories.

“In 2024, Chinese factories installed roughly 300,000 new industrial robots. American factories installed 30,000. Today, there are now more than 2 million industrial robots working in Chinese factories. In the U.S., the number is one-fifth that,” says Rush Doshi, director of CFR’s China Strategy Initiative and assistant professor at Georgetown University’s Walsh School of Foreign Service. “China is investing in the future, it’s pulling ahead in research publications and patent filings, and pouring hundreds of billions of dollars into the robotics sector.”

Lutnick: You realize trillions of dollars of factories are going to be built in America. That's huge gdp. The factories being built in America are huge -- Brennan: That takes years, and you said that robots are going to fill those jobs. So those aren't union worker jobs. Lutnick: it’s automated factories.. The key is who is going to build and operate the factories Brennan: You said robots

Hello, Stockholm. 🇸🇪 From the podcasts we discover to the robots working in factories, the Nordics are building with NVIDIA. Spotify is making podcast recommendations more efficient. ABB Robotics is helping engineers train and test robots in simulation. And startups are adapting open models for work ranging from Swedish transcription to patent research. Behind these applications are investments in computing power and a community of researchers, entrepreneurs, and businesses bringing new ideas to life.

How do you know which robots are ready for the job? Robotics companies test their models on different tasks and datasets. Lightspeed Partner Amber Yang sees a need for better ways to compare them, especially when customers are making decisions about safety. She maps the robotics market by how general or specialized companies’ models and hardware are. As models become more adaptable, Amber sees an opportunity for companies that specialize in deployment. She calls them “DeployCos”: businesses that could pair existing models with different kinds of embodiments to handle work in places like factories or restaurants. 0:00 Why Older Robotics Companies Struggled 0:40 Mapping The Robotics Landscape Across Two Axes 1:16 Model Layer Breakthroughs From VLAs To World Action Models 4:20 One Brain Many Bodies And The Value Of Specific Models 5:27 In-Context Learning And How Robotics Companies Collect Training Data 7:40 Hardware Developments And Dependence On China 9:24 Specific Model Specific Embodiment Quadrant 13:05 The Deploy Co Angle And Open Router For Robotics 13:55 General Model Multiple Bodies Quadrant 15:50 General Model Specific Embodiment Quadrant 17:24 Where Things May Be Commoditized And Infrastructure Opportunities 20:45 Robotics Observability And Evaluation 22:33 Learning From Autonomous Vehicles Claire Zau
