Eka Robotics CEO @pulkitology explains why GPT Astra is shifting the biggest bottleneck in robotics from brains to hands: "A couple of years ago everyone was gung ho about humanoids. I think that narrative has changed, and it has become much more about the hands." "An exciting result happened with GPT Astra. Astra showed that a lot of planning, reasoning it can do, even for robotics. If you think about robot make me dinner, there’s food in my fridge, bring the food out, put it on the…

@EkaRobotics has raised a $150M Series A. Generality v/s Performance is the fundamental tension at the frontier of robotics. Generality without performance is just a prototype. Performance without generality is just a single-purpose tool. Customers shouldn’t have to choose. Eka breaks the tradeoff. Powered by our Vision-Force-Action (VFA) model, we deliver the performance and versatility customers need to put robots to work every day. Eka is built on three convictions: ⚡️Force is the language of manipulation. 🚀 Reinforcement learning is how dexterous manipulation scales. 🎂 System 1—fast, reliable physical execution—is the bottleneck to solve. With this funding, we will scale our model and accelerate customer deployments. Grateful to be building alongside a dream team and investors who share our ambition.
