Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) is included among the 10 Best Blue Chip Stocks to Invest in According to Billionaires.
On May 1, Bloomberg reported that Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) has acquired Assured Robot Intelligence, a startup focused on building artificial intelligence models for robots. The move is part of a broader push into humanoid technology.
Meta said the startup is “at the frontier of robotic intelligence designed to enable robots to understand, predict and adapt to human behaviors in complex and dynamic environments.” Financial terms were not disclosed.
The Assured Robot Intelligence team, including co-founders Lerrel Pinto and Xiaolong Wang, will join Meta’s Superintelligence Labs research division. The group is expected to work closely with Meta Robotics Studio, which the company launched last year to develop core technology for humanoid systems.
Meta is increasing its investment in humanoids, robots designed to move like humans and assist with physical tasks. Interest in this area has been rising across large technology companies, including Tesla, Alphabet’s Google, and Amazon. The company’s robotics team is working toward using the startup’s technology in its own humanoid systems. That effort includes building in-house hardware and developing the AI that powers it. Work is also underway on sensors, software, and related systems that could be made available across the industry.
Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) focuses on building human connections through artificial intelligence and immersive technologies. Its products allow people to connect and share using mobile devices, personal computers, virtual reality and mixed reality headsets, augmented reality, and wearables.
