Pineau: Meta explores robotics to build physical AI, not commercial robots
“We have a research team that, that's dedicated to this. They do some work in robotics in particular because that's the best agents we have to consider physical embodiment, spatial constraints. It's not necessarily because Meta intends to commercialize robots. …”

Doshi: Robotics research hit a ceiling around 2020 and hasn't recovered
“Broadly robotics kind of asymptoted and hit a ceiling. About like three or four years ago, and the research still isn't like kind of on a trajectory. That's amazing.”

Hassabis: Software intelligence, not hardware, has always held robotics back
“I've always felt that the bottleneck in robotics isn't so much the hardware, although obviously there's many, many companies, and working on fantastic hardware, and we partner with a lot of them, But it's actually the software intelligence that I think is alwa…”

Mensch: Advanced robotics will deploy first in manufacturing and firefighting
“Strategically in robotics, I believe we'll see deployment of such systems first in areas where you don't want to send humans. So firefighting, I think is a very good example. So when the risk and benefit the risk of deploying the system is way under the benefi…”
