Ex-Nvidia exec says robotics lacks ChatGPT moment

Amulya Vishwanath, who spent seven years leading product marketing for Nvidia's robotics platforms, argues robotics is in its "Lego era," with foundational components like actuators, robotic hands, software, and safety standards still being assembled. This contrasts with views that a general foundation model will soon trigger a ChatGPT-like breakthrough. Now founder and managing partner of Techable VC, Vishwanath is writing early checks in physical AI across robotics, materials science, and life sciences, and is among the first women executives to spin out of Nvidia to launch her own firm.
