Deepu Talla, Vice President and Head of Robotics and Edge AI at NVIDIA, stated at a media roundtable on physical AI held at COEX in Seoul on the 9th that a 100-meter sprinter must first break the 10-second barrier to qualify for the preliminary rounds in order to win an Olympic gold medal. In the fields of physical AI and robotics, autonomous driving and autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) have already entered this "10-second range" and are in the initial stages of commercialization. However, Talla remains cautious about the prospect of widespread adoption of general-purpose humanoid robots. He pointed out, "In the area of using five fingers to perform extremely precise manipulations of objects, the robot's 'brain' has not yet reached the corresponding level, therefore, a great deal of further research and technological innovation is still needed."
