According to a report released by Bloomberg, Meta intends to design and produce hardware and software needed for human robots. Informed sources have informed the news media that a newly established group in the Reality Labs Meta section will begin with focusing on the “human robot hardware” capable of doing home affairs.
Bloomberg points out that the larger meta goals include the development of “basic artificial intelligence, sensors and software used for robots to be manufactured and supplied by various companies”. This shows that Meta will probably not be marketed in the first step with its own brand. According to Bloomberg, the company is currently talking to robotics companies such as UNITREE ROBOTICS and Figure AI about its future plans.
“The main technologies we have invested in Reality Labs and Artificial Intelligence are complementary to the development of robotics,” said Andrew Bazver, chief technician at Meta Technology. “We believe that the expansion of your investment basket to this area will only bring the value added for meta artificial intelligence and our hybrid reality programs.”
Tesla has unveiled its anthropological robots earlier, while other technology giants have also begun entering the robotic industry. Recent research by Apple has briefly offered a Pixar -style desktop light that interacts with users through voice commands and gestures. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Ku has said the company is investigating “human and inhumane robots for its future smart home ecosystem”. Nvidia also has great ambitions for the future of the robotics.
The new Meta Robotics Team will be led by Mark Whiten, the former CRUISE Motors Taxi Project CEO, which has now stopped. Whiton has previously served as executives in Microsoft, Sonus, Unity and Amazon. As the $ 65 billion meta investment in artificial intelligence continues, the company has also increased its efforts to sell its smart glasses. Bloomberg reports that Meta, former CEO of The Realreal – has hired a site where users can buy luxury items – as the deputy chief of retailers.
