This was a enjoyable chat with Sandeep B.. What this submit does not let you know is that after a delayed flight and cancelled trains, I obtained to VivaTech 6 minutes earlier than the beginning of the discuss. I nonetheless made it…

Our third 12 months talking at VivaTech in Paris and with out query one of many largest but. 🚀

The scale of the occasion displays simply how shortly AI is reshaping the worldwide know-how panorama.

Happy to take the stage with our portfolio firm Flexion Robotics and CEO & Co-Founder Nikita Rudin, alongside our Head of European Investments, Sandeep B., to debate what it takes to deliver AI into the bodily world.

One of Nikita’s key factors: robotics will not scale by ever-larger fleets of people coaching robots one process at a time. The breakthrough comes when robots can study in simulation, adapt to new environments, and carry out helpful work in the actual world with minimal human intervention.

Further, if software program finally controls the robotic, then the intelligence layer turns into simply as necessary because the {hardware}. As robotics turns into a strategic know-how, Europe has a chance not solely to construct the machines, but additionally the software program that powers them.

Perhaps the most important takeaway: that is not theoretical. The query is not whether or not robots will carry out helpful work, however how shortly they will transfer from demos to long-horizon, real-world duties.

Thanks to Nikita, the Flexion group and the VivaTech group for one more unimaginable 12 months. See you subsequent 12 months! 👏
