Physical Intelligence believes it can give robots humanlike understanding of the physical world and dexterity by feeding sensor and motion data from robots performing vast numbers of demonstrations into its master AI model. 'This is, for us, what it will take to 'solve' physical intelligence,' Hausman says. 'To breathe intelligence into a robot just by connecting it to our model.'
The warehouse is home of Physical Intelligence, also known as PI or π (hence the symbol on the front door), a startup that aims to give robots a profound artificial intelligence upgrade. Such is the excitement and expectation around the company's dream that investors are betting hundreds of millions that it will make the next earth-shaking breakthrough in the field of AI.
Inside a glass-walled conference room on the second floor of the building, the startup's CEO, Karol Hausman, a tall man with a soft German accent and a few days of stubble, lays out the vision. 'If I put you in control of a new robot, with a little bit of practice you'd probably be able to figure out how to control it,' Hausman says. 'And if we really crack this problem, then AI will be able to do the same thing.'
