Physical Intelligence shows the robotics race is moving to robot brains

Robotics is becoming less about one-purpose machines and more about generalisable intelligence.

What happened

Physical Intelligence was profiled for its work on robot intelligence systems.

Why it matters

The key question in robotics is increasingly whether one AI system can help robots learn and adapt across many physical tasks.

The bigger picture

If robot foundation models work, the most valuable companies may not be the ones making every robot body, but the ones building the brain layer for physical AI.
