曾在英伟达机器人平台产品营销领域工作七年的阿穆拉·维斯瓦纳坦（Amulya Vishwanath）表示，机器人领域目前正处于其“乐高时代”，执行器、机械手、软件和安全标准等基础构建模块仍在重建之中。
Amulya Vishwanath, who spent seven years leading product marketing for NVIDIA’s robotics platforms, says robotics is currently in its “Lego era,” with the basic building blocks like actuators, robotic hands, software, and safety standards still being rebuilt.
这一观点与那些认为机器人领域将由通用基础模型驱动，即将迎来其“ChatGPT时刻”的人相悖——那一天是指这款令人震惊的聊天机器人于2022年底推出时。 （General Intuition首席执行官皮姆·德维特（Pim de Witte）今年早些时候在Equity节目中表示，单一的通用基础模型将使当今大部分专业机器人工作变得多余，并成为那个时刻。）
This view runs counter to those who believe that robotics, powered by a general foundation model, is about to have its “ChatGPT moment” — that day when the shockingly capable chatbot was launched in late 2022. (General Intuition CEO Pim de Witte told Equity earlier this year that a single general foundation model would make much of today’s specialized robotics work redundant, and be that moment.)
在TechCrunch的Equity播客这一集中，多米尼克-马多里·戴维斯（Dominic-Madori Davis）与维斯瓦纳坦会面，讨论她作为Techable VC创始人兼管理合伙人正在首笔投资的领域。他们还讨论了她作为最早从英伟达分拆并创办早期投资公司的女性高管之一所学到的经验，该公司投资涵盖机器人、材料科学和生命科学等物理AI领域。
On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Dominic-Madori Davis caught up with Vishwanath to discuss where she’s writing first checks as the founder and managing partner of Techable VC. They also talked about what she’s learned as one of the first women executives to spin out of Nvidia and launch her own early-stage firm investing in physical AI across robotics, materials science, and life sciences.
