California-based company Generalist AI has released Gen-1, a new physical AI model that powers robots through tasks such as folding laundry, constructing boxes, fixing robots, and filling wallets with paper money. The new model is designed to be the brain of any robot, meaning it can run on a humanoid, an industrial arm or other robotic systems. It is a significant advance in terms of robots designed for the real world based on intelligence from the human experience. The company has released a series of videos showing the model running on robots performing a range of different tasks, with the success rate being compared to the previous version. The market for robots is expected to explode, with estimates predicting a $5 trillion market by 2050.
