Meta Invests Billions in Humanoid Robots as Next Major Priority

Meta is making a bold push into humanoid robots. CTO Andrew Bosworth says the company will invest billions into building robotic software platforms, calling it an “AR-sized bet.” It marks Meta’s ambitious move into robotics, with a unique strategy for how it aims to dominate the market.

Details:

• Meta has launched a robotics effort under Zuckerberg, led by Marc Whitten and MIT’s Sangbae Kim. Their prototype “Metabot” is in the works, but CTO Andrew Bosworth says hardware isn’t the priority. The real challenge is software, especially dexterous control like lifting a glass without breaking it

• Meta’s strategy is platform-first, aiming to license robotics software like Google did with Android. Backed by Alexandr Wang’s Superintelligence AI lab, the team is building “world models” to simulate the data and sensors

• Unlike Tesla’s Optimus, Meta doubts real-world training data will be enough. Tesla relies on vision systems, while Meta focuses on simulation and AI models. They’re also testing chips from Nvidia and Qualcomm. Bosworth notes early robots don’t need full human dexterity — “two thumbs” may be plenty

Meta’s robotics push leans on its AI and software strengths, aiming to be the leading platform in the coming robotics wave, though key details are still unfolding.

Nvidia Invests $500M in Tesla Robotaxi Rival After CEO Calls It "Trillion Dollar Company"

Nvidia is making a big play in autonomous driving, directly targeting Tesla’s robotaxi push. The chip giant plans to invest $500M in UK AI startup Wayve, the same firm powering Nissan’s self-driving tech, which it claims outperforms Tesla’s Full Self-Driving.

Details:

• Wayve built a turnkey autonomous driving system that runs as an end-to-end neural network, trained on massive camera vision data instead of rigid algorithms and HD maps. Its “embodied AI” reads whole driving scenes, anticipating events like a human driver

• Nissan is the first big customer, testing its ProPilot robotaxi on Ariya EVs in Tokyo. The Level 4 system is claimed to be “smarter than Tesla’s FSD,” with rollout set for 2027 on Nvidia Drive Thor hardware

• After a London demo, Jensen Huang called Wayve “the next trillion-dollar company.” That ride helped secure a $500M Nvidia investment, adding to the $1B Wayve already raised from Nvidia, Uber, and SoftBank

Nvidia’s move expands beyond its $100B OpenAI stake, aiming to rival Tesla’s robotaxi with Wayve’s human-like driving AI. But regulatory hurdles and adoption will decide if this trillion-dollar play succeeds.
