Amazon Fulfillment Technologies & Robotics’ Post

[Why Major Logistics Companies Partner with Robotics Startups] The Amazon Fulfillment Technologies & Robotics- Covariant collaboration highlights a powerful trend in logistics automation. Major players are increasingly partnering with robotics startups - and for good reason. Large companies gain: - Quick deployment of proven solutions vs. years of in-house development - Access to specialized AI/ML expertise without building teams from scratch - Low-risk technology testing - Rapid response to labor challenges Startups benefit through: - Immediate access to large-scale operations - Real-world validation - Stable revenue streams - Enterprise-level infrastructure This win-win approach is transforming warehouse automation. At Roboe Technologies, our advanced unseen object piece-picking and palletizing technology stands ready to deliver these same benefits. We're uniquely positioned to help U.S. logistics companies automate their most challenging warehouse operations. #WarehouseAutomation #StrategicPartnerships #LogisticsTech #RoboticInnovation #SupplyChain #Walmart #Amazon #Palletizing #Depalletizing #MixedCase #PiecePicking

It is amazing what happens when you give leading AI scientists access to a treasure trove of perception data.

Robotics isn’t a new field, and neither are the challenges of creating machines that behave like humans. However, it’s important to remind ourselves, and perhaps some VC investors, just how complex human beings really are. Before they think some start up founders can make robots just like human beings ! Our bodies are equipped with billions of sensors—spread across our skin to sense temperature, pressure, and beyond. This is in addition to our vision and auditory capabilities. On top of that, we have a highly efficient reasoning engine that adapts to unknown terrains, something even the most advanced AI models (like transformers) struggle with. And let’s not forget our incredible energy efficiency; for a robot to do the equivalent physical work of a human, it would need between 0.2-0.4kW of power. These challenges make it clear: there’s still a long way to go in robotics. Instead of trying to fully replicate human capabilities, perhaps the focus should be on leveraging robots for specific, high-impact tasks where their limitations are less of an issue.

Amazon has more than 750.000+ robots deployed to unlock AI opportunities. A decade ago, the idea of human-like robots in Amazon's warehouses seemed like a distant dream. Fast forward to today, and they're testing advanced robotics like "Digit," a two-legged robot adept at handling repetitive tasks. This move isn't just about efficiency; it's about reshaping how humans and machines collaborate. **Follow AI Echo to learn more on Artificial General Intelligence**

As #ai is integrated into #humanoids, the pace of #change is set to accelerate even more. How this is going to impact the human experience at home and work is anyones guess? What is certain, is that none of us are prepared for what is to come. The need to #adapt has never been greater, and underscores why we as individuals and company's need to discover our adaptability quotient with a tool like the #AQai Adaptability Assessment. As Ido Caspi recently pointed out in an article related to investment opportunities in humanoids, thirty five percent of the workforce in industries such as manufacturing, logistics, healthcare and agriculture will be impacted as we learn to work with #cobots (co-operative robots working alongside humans). The introduction of Amazons Agility Robotics cobot 'Digit', is already a reality as seen in the video link below. #DiscoverYourAQ #adaptability #workplaceexperience #hrstrategy #innovation #scenarioplanning

🧠 Could Figure's Humanoid Robots Shape the Future of AI and Robotics? Brett Adcock, CEO of Figure, aims to revolutionize robotics with humanoid AI. Backed by $750 million in funding and collaborations with BMW and OpenAI, Figure aims to deploy robots for tasks like manufacturing and household chores. However, challenges remain, as seen during a demo where a robot struggled to walk. Adcock's journey includes successes like selling Vettery for $110 million and launching Archer Aviation, though he faced criticism for exaggerations. Figure's rapid growth and valuation surpass rivals like Agility Robotics and 1X. Despite historical failures in humanoid robotics, Adcock remains optimistic, but hurdles like cost and technological limitations persist. #AI #IA #Robotics #Robots #Technology #Future #Evolution #OpenAI

Amazon's recent partnership with Covariant marks a pivotal moment in robotics and AI innovation. By bringing aboard key members from Covariant and licensing their cutting-edge robotic foundation models, Amazon is set to revolutionize its warehouse operations. Imagine robots that don't just follow pre-set paths but actually see, reason, and act in dynamic environments. With Covariant’s tech, including the impressive Robot Foundation Model

A new startup, Physical Intelligence, aims to create "universal" AI software for robots of all kinds. Traditional AI has focused on language and software, while robots remain limited in tasks. Physical Intelligence wants to bridge this gap by combining language AI techniques with its own control methods. They believe they can create a general-purpose robotic AI system. The company is led by robotics and AI experts, has raised $70 million, and plans to train its AI on a massive dataset of robot data. They face competition from android makers and other general-purpose robotics software companies. Physical Intelligence acknowledges the challenge but believes their novel approach can overcome existing obstacles.

Could be the case for EU manufacturing companies as well. However, to achieve this it is absolutely necessary NOT to underestimate competitors elsewhere outside US-EU zone. #manufecturing #ai #robotics

𝐉𝐞𝐟𝐟 𝐁𝐞𝐳𝐨𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐎𝐩𝐞𝐧𝐀𝐈 𝐁𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐑𝐨𝐛𝐨𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐮𝐩 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞! 🤖💡 Physical Intelligence, the groundbreaking robot startup based in San Francisco, has raised $400 million, earning a massive $2.4 billion valuation. Heavyweights like Jeff Bezos, OpenAI, Thrive Capital, and Lux Capital are betting big on this vision of a future where robots with general-purpose AI seamlessly execute everyday tasks—from folding laundry to assembling boxes. After scaling its valuation six-fold since March, Physical Intelligence has emerged as a key player aiming to push AI beyond digital boundaries into the physical world. Their AGI-powered robotics could redefine industries, blending innovations from a team of ex-Tesla, Google DeepMind, and X talent. As OpenAI accelerates AI’s expansion, their investment in robotics could be a game-changer for artificial general intelligence. #PhysicalIntelligence #Robotics #AI #AGI #JeffBezos #OpenAI #TechInnovation #MachineLearning #FutureOfWork #AutomationRevolution https://lnkd.in/dDrxAcgh
