While videos of sprinting robots crashing into pads — or humanoid robots kickboxing and breakdancing – often go viral, General Robotics focuses instead on industrial models. Its GPU-based GRID cloud provides a better base to ingest data and develop skills for specific verticals.
“Our ability to onboard new robots, our ability to take them to deployment with new skills, our ability to connect very complex simulations to the reality is enabled through GRID,” Kapoor said.
The company declined to talk in detail about its customers, but Kapoor offered an example of how the GRID-based system works. In a biolab, for instance, robots pouring liquid from beakers required in their modeling fluid tactile interaction and transparent materials.
