Robotics: why now - Quan Vuong and Jost Tobias Springberg, Physical Intelligence

Sharing recent progress from Physical Intelligence and why it is an exciting time to push the frontier in general purpose robotics About Quan Vuong Quan Vuong is co-founder at Physical Intelligence. His research focuses on generalist robotics and algorithms that enable intelligent behaviors through large scale learning. About Jost Tobias Springenberg Tobias is currently a research scientist at Physical Intelligence where he works on bringing AI into the real world and understanding the fundamentals of sequential decision making (e.g. imitation and reinforcement learning). He likes his machine learning models big and his data to be plentiful and focuses most of his research on engineering driven machine learning at scale for robotics. Before joining Physical Intelligence Tobias was a research scientist Google Deepmind in London within the control team which generally focuses on applications of ML to control for science and robotics. Before that he was a researcher at the University of Fr
