Meta is embarking on a significant project to develop hardware and software for humanoid robots with a focus on household tasks. A new team in Meta's Reality Labs division is working on this initiative while collaborating with external robotics companies such as Unitree Robotics and Figure AI. The company aims to leverage its existing AI investments, believing that advancements in robotics will enhance its augmented and mixed reality programs. This strategic move comes amid growing interest from other tech giants in the robotics sector, such as Apple and Nvidia, each exploring innovative robotics applications.
The core technologies we've already invested in across Reality Labs and AI are complementary to developing advancements needed for robotics, Andrew Bosworth noted.
Meta is in discussions with robotics companies like Unitree Robotics and Figure AI about its plans for humanoid robot hardware.
