Physical Intelligence has raised $400 million to advance AI for robotics, leveraging foundation models that allow robots to generalize actions with fewer examples. CEO Karol Hausman emphasized the development of a “single generalist brain” capable of controlling various robots. The company’s initial model, π0, aims to simplify programming for tasks like folding laundry and assembling boxes. Despite being in early stages, Physical Intelligence is focused on enhancing robot dexterity and capability. With a valuation of $2 billion, it attracted significant investment from notable backers including Jeff Bezos and is part of a broader trend of funding in AI and robotics.
