""We acquired Assured Robot Intelligence, a company at the frontier of robotic intelligence designed to enable robots to understand, predict, and adapt to human behaviors in complex and dynamic environments," a Meta spokesperson said."
"Nick Crance, a partner at AIX Ventures, told Business Insider that the startup is focused on high-precision dexterity and manipulation in robotics. Dexterity and manipulation cover a robot's ability to physically interact with real-world objects."
"Cofounders Wang and Lerrel Pinto both have academic backgrounds. Wang was a researcher at Nvidia and is a member of the electrical and computer engineering faculty at the University of California, San Diego."
"ARI is not the only startup focused on robotics intelligence. Startups like Physical Intelligence, Generalist AI, and Genesis AI are focused on the intelligence layer, or the brains, of robots rather than the hardware."
