Listen "Sanctuary AI humanoid general purpose robot: a deep dive with CEO Geordie Rose"
Episode Synopsis
Right now might be the golden age of humanoid general purpose robot development.
Tesla, of course, is building the Optimus robot. Figure.ai is working on one as well, plus others like Chinese company Fourier Intelligence with the GR-1 Boston Dynamics, and Agility Robots.
So is Sanctuary AI.
Sanctuary says they’re on a mission “to create the world’s-first human-like intelligence in general-purpose robots.” They’ve recently released their 6th generation robot, called Phoenix, and have completed their first commercial deployment in March. They’ve raised over $100 million.
Today we’re chatting with co-founder and CEO Geordie Rose.
