General robotic dexterity is becoming a platform, not a custom build
◆ 75RelevanceOn a story from Google DeepMind2d ago
Google’s progress suggests that low-level physical control is moving from a hard engineering problem to a model-driven capability. You should evaluate whether building bespoke dexterity controllers still provides a moat compared to using general-purpose foundation models.
Takeaways
- Foundation models are commoditizing the dexterity layer of robotics startups.
- Focus on proprietary task data rather than general physical movement.
- The timeline for viable general-purpose automation is accelerating.
