“when I started working in robotics in 2014, I used a very nice research robot called a PR2 that cost $400,000 to purchase. When I started my research lab at UC Berkeley, I bought robot arms that were $30,000. The robots that we are using now at Physical Intelligence, each arm costs about $3,000.”

01 / uncertainty
“I don't know the answer to that question, but it's also a tricky question to answer because not all arms are made equal.”
02 / uncertainty
“We're already trying to figure out what are the real things this thing can do that could allow us to start spinning the flywheel. But in terms of stuff that you would actually care about, that you would want to see… I don't know but single-digit years is very realistic.”
03 / uncertainty
“Probably it requires as much experience as the language stuff. But because we don't know the answer to that, to me a much more useful way to think about it is not how much data do we need to get before we're fully done, but how much data do we need to get before we can get started.”
04 / uncertainty
“I'm probably not prepared to tell you what percentage of all labor work can be done by robots, because I don't think right now, off the cuff, I have a sufficient understanding of what's involved in that big of a cross-section of all physical labor.”
