We believe the race to general-purpose robotics will define the next decade of innovation. Winners will reshape industries — and the way we live. 📖 Full breakdown by @emilyyzhao & @PaschaHao on why the time for robotics is now:

We spent 7+ months embedded in this world — talking to founders, engineers, and researchers like @drfeifei, @DrJimFan, @pathak2206, @gupta_abhinav_, Dyna, Physical Intelligence, Shadow Robot, Figure AI, and many others. The consensus: this is the decade robots go mainstream.

Why now is different from past hype cycles (remember the AV boom?): . ✅ Stronger technical foundations .✅ More adaptable, generalizable systems .✅ Hardware ready for scale.✅ Business models built for fast deployment

The breakthroughs are happening everywhere:. 🔹 Models: @nvidia, @GoogleDeepMind, @SkildAI, @physical_int, @DynaRobotics.🔹 Data: @SkildAI, xdof, @physical_int. @standardbots.🔹 Hardware: @Figure_robot, @shadowrobot, @clonerobotics, @SharpaRobotics.

The numbers are hard to ignore: . 📈 $7B+ deployed to robotics companies in 2024 .📈 Service robotics market to nearly double by 2029 .📈 Consumer robotics forecasted to grow 15%+ CAGR over 5 years

For decades, progress in robotics was slow. Now, advances in AI models, scalable data, and affordable, capable hardware are converging. The result: robots that can learn new tasks, work across industries, and integrate into our daily lives.
