In Episode 198 of The Robotic Report Podcast, our visitor is Nicolaus Radford, co-founder and CEO of Persona AI. The corporate stated it’s commercializing a multi-purpose humanoid to personify AI, enabling the following wave in robotics.
Not are robots confined to the manufacturing facility ground performing pick-and-place, welding, or portray. They’re now additionally able to duties historically reserved just for human-level coordination and mobility, stated Persona AI.
