Apptronik has partnered with Google DeepMind’s robotics team to develop robots that are truly intelligent and autonomous, the two companies announced in a statement.
Jeffrey Cardenas, CEO and co-founder of Apptronik, said that the collaboration is aimed at creating intelligent, versatile, and safe robots that will transform industries and improve lives.
Several companies such as Meta and NVIDIA have been innovating in the field of robotics this year, developing advanced robotic systems that offer better visual perception, decision-making, and dexterity.
Google DeepMind recently integrated Gemini 2.0 Flash Thinking into its robotics system, an advanced reasoning model with capabilities that significantly enhance robotics applications.
The integration of ChatGPT into robotics highlights another major milestone in combining conversational AI with physical robots.
This collaboration comes amidst notable milestones in robotics this year. China's Agibot has started mass-producing humanoid robots as Figure AI ships its first AI robots.
Apptronik’s humanoid robot, Apollo, is designed for physically demanding tasks in industrial settings and balances functionality and safety for human collaboration.
The collaborative expertise of Apptronik and Google DeepMind is expected to set a new benchmark that denotes the manufacturing of intelligent, versatile robots that transform industries.
Through this partnership, the duo aims to build robots that can perform a wide array of tasks in environments designed for humans, thereby enhancing productivity and safety in various sectors.
The machine learning advancements from NVIDIA and Google DeepMind, combined with robotics' applications, could yield Ai-powered robots that transform blue-collar jobs into safer, efficient tasks.
