Amulya Vishwanath, after seven years leading product marketing for NVIDIA’s robotics platforms, describes robotics as being in its “Lego era”: actuators, robotic hands, software and safety standards are still being rebuilt.
This article presents her view alongside General Intuition CEO Pim de Witte’s earlier argument that a single general foundation model could make much specialized robotics work redundant—a useful contrast in how practitioners see the field’s foundations evolving.
The basics of robotics
According to Vishwanath, the basic elements of robotics include the mechanisms that move the robots, the robotic arms, the programs, and the safety rules.
Her view differs from that of Pim de Witte, CEO of General Intuition. De Witte has argued that a single, general model of artificial intelligence could make much of the specialized work in robotics redundant. In his estimation, its emergence would be a moment comparable to that of ChatGPT.
