In embodied AI, you can't jump in and do everything at the outset, nor can you do nothing at all. Author |Qi Chengyong Editor | Cen Feng Dong Hao is a thoroughly atypical figure in the embodied intelligence industry. For most people, their impression of him stops at his status as a young scholar who was already a doctoral supervisor at Peking University at 29, and his recent industry credentials as chief scientist at Qiyuan Robotics, leading the push to ad

While frontier AI models have solved a remarkable series of outstanding mathematics problems and made progress in the life sciences, they have yet to truly plumb the complex physics in advanced materials. “It’s more difficult to specify problems clearly in materials science because it’s not like math, where you have a very specific definition and can get to a yes or no,” said Advaith Sridhar, a co-founder of Discovered Materials, which was part of Y Combin

His new venture, Physicl, has raised $10 million in seed funding led by Inovia Capital to help world model designers and robot builders solve thorny training problems with more realistic simulations. Founder and CEO de Vigan spent the last decade building nfinite, which made it easy for brands and retailers to create 3D models of their goods and display them online. The arrival of transformer-based AI models led that company to focus more on generative ima

For a newly formed AI startup team, the hardest moment is often not after the product launches, but before it has taken shape: the technical roadmap is in place, the core members have joined, and they may even have identified a market worth pursuing, yet they have neither a mature product nor revenue data. Where will the first round of funding come from? Who would be willing to believe in a group of founders at such an early stage? This first check can oft
