GoKawiilTechable Ventures founder says robotics industry is in its 'LEGO era'
Amulya Vishwanath, founder of physical AI-focused VC firm Techable Ventures and a former Nvidia product marketer, told TechCrunch's Equity podcast that robotics is not yet at its 'ChatGPT moment' but is instead assembling foundational building blocks like actuators and robotic hands. She said general- and special-purpose robots are being developed now and will improve as these components mature, drawing parallels to the internet era and Industrial Revolution. She also emphasized that attracting talent, much of which is going to firms like Anthropic and Nvidia, is a critical factor for robotics startups.
