End-to-end autonomous driving company Wayve has announced that Alex Toshev is joining Wayve Labs to lead a new general robotics team.
Co-founder Jamie Shotton said the company has learned a great deal about real-world robotics through its driving work and is excited to apply and extend those ideas more broadly. Wayve notes its AI was designed to generalize across applications from day one, and the new team will advance that work into new physical embodiments — with hiring open from the start.
