Apple and Meta working on humanoid AI robots, will compete with Tesla's robot
AI Robot: According to the report, Meta has created a new department in its Reality Labs hardware division, which is working specifically on the development of AI humanoid robots. At the same time, Apple is adopting a different strategy in this direction and its robot is being developed by its Machine Learning group.
Apple and Meta, which are competing with each other in the market of Mixed Reality headsets, will now encounter each other face to face in yet another realm too. The two companies are building AI-based humanoid robots. It is reported by Bloomberg reporter Mark Gurman that both companies are building AI-based humanoid robots of their own.
According to the report, daily activities like folding a t-shirt, dancing, or boiling an egg will be achievable through these humanoid robots. It is immediately brought to mind that of Tesla's Optimus robot, although Gurman is making a point of comparing this Apple venture to that of the Tesla Bot specifically.
Meta aims to make software that can be used by developers of AI humanoid robots. The company, founded by Mark Zuckerberg, is hopeful that its experience in managing mixed reality sensors, and computing, and its Llama AI model will give it competitively advantageous conditions.
