前 NVIDIA 机器人平台高管、Techable VC 创始人 Amulya Vishwanath：机器人为何尚未迎来 ChatGPT 时刻
An Nvidia insider-turned-VC on why robotics hasn’t hit its ChatGPT moment, yet
Amulya Vishwanath认为，机器人尚未迎来“ChatGPT 时刻”，因为行业仍处于“Lego era”，执行器、机械手、软件和安全标准等基础构件还在重建。她的判断不同于“通用基础模型将让大量专业化机器人工作变得多余”的观点。作为 Techable VC 创始人兼管理合伙人，她投资 physical AI，覆盖机器人、材料科学和生命科学。

Amulya Vishwanath, who spent seven years leading product marketing for NVIDIA’s robotics platforms, says robotics is currently in its “Lego era,” with the basic building blocks like actuators, robotic hands, software, and safety standards still being rebuilt.
This view runs counter to those who believe that robotics, powered by a general foundation model, is about to have its “ChatGPT moment” — that day when the shockingly capable chatbot was launched in late 2022. (General Intuition CEO Pim de Witte told Equity earlier this year that a single general foundation model would make much of today’s specialized robotics work redundant, and be that moment.)
On this episode of TechCrunch’s Equity podcast, Dominic-Madori Davis caught up with Vishwanath to discuss where she’s writing first checks as the founder and managing partner of Techable VC. They also talked about what she’s learned as one of the first women executives to spin out of Nvidia and launch her own early-stage firm investing in physical AI across robotics, materials science, and life sciences.
