In Summary:

Jeff Bezos has invested $400 million in Physical Intelligence, a startup focused on developing AI software for versatile robots capable of performing multiple tasks. Unlike specialized robots that can only handle one function, Physical Intelligence’s pi-zero model is designed to enable robots to switch seamlessly between tasks, such as folding laundry, clearing tables, and packing items. Videos released by the startup showcase robots executing complex, multi-step actions, although the technology is still in development. As investments in robotics grow, Physical Intelligence aims to create a foundation for 'generalist' robots capable of adapting to various real-world tasks, marking a shift in the robotics industry.
