According to the Financial Times, Google, OpenAI and Tesla race start-ups to develop AI robotic systems in effort to transform healthcare and manufacturing.
Over the past three years, Péter Fankhauser’s industrial robots went from being able to climb stairs, to jumping between boxes, doing backflips and performing other parkour-style tricks. The robots were not programmed to perform these new actions, instead adapting to their environment powered by new artificial intelligence models.
The world’s biggest tech and AI companies, from Google, OpenAI and Tesla, are among those racing to build the AI “brain” that can autonomously operate robotics in moves that could transform industries from manufacturing to healthcare. In particular, improved computer vision and spatial reasoning capabilities have allowed robots to gain greater autonomy while navigating varied environments, from construction sites to oil rigs and city roads.
