MIT researchers have developed a generative artificial intelligence-driven approach for planning long-term visual tasks, like robot navigation, that is about twice as effective as some existing techniques.Their method uses a specialized vision-language model to perceive the scenario in an image and simulate actions needed to reach a goal. Then a second model translates those simulations

Before pulling data, one usually has a preconceived idea of what the results will show. In this case, looking at recent U.S. Series B investments, my assumption was that big rounds would be dominated by a few buzzy AI sectors. The reality, however, looks far more diversified. Startups securing the largest rounds run the gamut

There is a particular kind of momentum in the technology industry that announces itself not through a single breakthrough, but through the simultaneous convergence of many. Physical AI is having that moment right now–and paying attention to where it is coming from, and why, tells you more than any single product launch can. The term

Current end-to-end robotic policies, specifically Vision-Language-Action (VLA) models, typically operate on a single observation or a very short history. This ‘lack of memory’ makes long-horizon tasks, such as cleaning a kitchen or following a complex recipe, computationally intractable or prone to failure. To address this, researchers from Physical Intelligence, Stanford, UC Berkeley, and MIT have
