Very product of the work the team has achieved.
Here's our robot now performing a complete end-to-end workflow for a Tier-1 Auto-Manufacturer. The core technical risk is behind us. It moves onto the factory floor soon for final optimizations on a live multi-part assembly line. 🎉 #PhysicalAI #Manufacturing #Robotics

Pragmatically, we can say that AGI is reached when it's no longer easy to come up with problems that regular people can solve (with no prior training) and that are infeasible for AI models. Right now it's still easy to come up with such problems, so we don't have AGI.

Robots have long captured our imagination, but the reality of developing these ultimate AI embodiments comes with significant hurdles. My colleagues explored some of the biggest challenges in deploying these technologies in this article.
Science fiction promised us #robot companions, but we hard see any around us. Where are they? This article by Avsr team explores the key challenges in #AI that keep robots from being everywhere in our daily lives. avsr.io/mind-motion-and-mach…

Robots are the ultimate manifestation of AI. Recent breakthroughs have brought once far-fetched sci-fi ideas within reach. #Robots #AI
