Former Nvidia executive on the state of physical AI and robotics
What happened
2026年10月17日，TechCrunch报道，前NVIDIA机器人平台产品营销部门任职七年的Amulya Vishwanath，现以Techable VC创始人兼管理合伙人身份投资物理AI。她认为机器人目前仍处“乐高时代”，执行器、机械手、软件和安全标准等基础模块尚在重建，因此尚未迎来类似ChatGPT的爆发时刻。她将物理AI定义为不止是机器人，还包括“分子、材料、药物”或工厂产线上的机器，并提出“有意识的自动化”概念。同日另一篇报道称，其投资覆盖机器人、材料科学和生命科学领域。
