“I think the U.S. has a great chance of winning [the robotics race]. We’re leading in AI, and I think we’re building some of the best robots in the world. But we need a national strategy if we’re going to continue to build and stay ahead.” Apptronik CEO and co-founder Jeff Cardenas met with policymakers, other robotics innovators, and A3 - Association for Advancing Automation this week on Capitol Hill to discuss how the United States can become a leader in the next era of robotics. We believe humanoid robots will play a key role in our future, and that a national strategy for robotics will ensure the U.S. leads on the world stage. https://lnkd.in/gY_ZqD2w

Today AI-powered humanoid robots are taking a big step forward: Apptronik and Google DeepMind are partnering to build the next generation of humanoid robots with Gemini Robotics. Built on Gemini 2.0, Gemini Robotics enables Apollo to understand natural language and perform real-world tasks in environments it has not seen before. With Apollo's high degree of dexterity, playing board games and packing picnics are just the first steps in our mutual goal to create general-purpose robots that will help humans in every facet of life. https://lnkd.in/giwMaQuN #HumanoidRobots #ArtificialIntelligence #Robotics #EmbodiedAI #AI
