Former Nvidia executive Amulya Vishwanath says robotics is still in its Lego era

Amulya Vishwanath, who led product marketing for Nvidia's robotics platforms for seven years, says robotics is in its "Lego era," with actuators, robotic hands, software, and safety standards still being rebuilt.

She disagrees with the view that a general foundation model will soon produce a ChatGPT-style moment for robotics. Vishwanath discussed her early-stage investments in physical AI on TechCrunch's Equity podcast as founder and managing partner of Techable VC.
