Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think – Sergey Levine

Yeah.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think – Sergey Levine

So physical intelligence aims to build robotic foundation models.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think – Sergey Levine

And that basically means general purpose models that could, in principle, control any robot to perform any task.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think – Sergey Levine

We care about this because we see this as a very fundamental aspect of the AI problem.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think – Sergey Levine

Like the robot is essentially encompassing all AI technology.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think – Sergey Levine

So if you can get a robot that's truly general, then you can do hopefully a large chunk of what people can do.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think – Sergey Levine

And where we're at right now is I think we've kind of gotten to the point where we've built out a lot of the basics.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think – Sergey Levine

And, you know, I think those basics actually are pretty cool.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think – Sergey Levine

Like they work pretty well.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think – Sergey Levine

We can get a robot that will like fold laundry and that will go into a new home and like try to clean up the kitchen.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think – Sergey Levine

But in my mind, what we're doing at Physical Intelligence right now is really the very, very early beginning.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think – Sergey Levine

It's just like putting in place the basic building blocks on top of which we can then tackle all these like really tough problems.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think – Sergey Levine

So there are a few things that we need to get right.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think – Sergey Levine

I mean, dexterity obviously is one of them.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think – Sergey Levine

And in the beginning, we really wanted to make sure that

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think – Sergey Levine

we understand whether the methods that we're developing have the ability to tackle like the kind of intricate tasks that people can do.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think – Sergey Levine

As you mentioned, like folding a box, folding different articles of laundry, cleaning up a table, making a coffee, that sort of thing.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think – Sergey Levine

And that's like, that's good.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think – Sergey Levine

Like that works.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think – Sergey Levine

I think that the results we've been able to show are pretty cool.
