Meta, 휴머노이드 AI 확장을 위해 Assured Robot Intelligence 인수
Meta는 휴머노이드 로봇 공학 목표를 발전시키기 위해 Assured Robot Intelligence(ARI)를 인수했다. 공동 창업자인 Lerrel Pinto와 Xiaolong Wang은 Meta의 Superintelligence Labs에 합류한다. ARI는 육체 노동을 위한 파운데이션 모델을 구축했다. 해당 팀은 전신 휴머노이드 제어를 위한 로봇 제어와 자기 학습에 집중할 예정이다.
Meta acquired Assured Robot Intelligence (ARI) to bolster its humanoid robotics ambitions. ARI co-founders Lerrel Pinto and Xiaolong Wang will join Meta’s Superintelligence Labs research division to develop frontier capabilities for robot control and self-learning. ARI previously focused on foundation models enabling robots to perform household chores and adapt to dynamic environments.
This acquisition follows Amazon's recent purchase of Fauna Robotics, co-founded by Pinto. Industry experts view physical world interaction as a critical path toward AGI. Market projections for the humanoid robotics sector vary widely, from $38 billion by 2035 to $5 trillion by 2050.
