AMD released an interview between KV Thanjavur Bhaaskar, Director of Robotics at AMD, and Sankaet Pathak, CEO of Foundation Robotics, about building humanoid robots for demanding industrial work.
Key points:
- How to make robots operate reliably in harsh industrial environments
- In-field learning approaches for next-generation robots
- How AMD's chip portfolio (GPUs and embedded processors) supports Foundation's robotics roadmap
It's ecosystem-promotional in nature but touches on real engineering challenges of deploying humanoids in industry.
