Robotics has entered a period of rapid acceleration with advances compounding faster than at any point in the last decade. However, unlike deep learning, which could ride on internet-scale data and standardized hardware, robotics must learn on the true distribution of the physical world, making its progress harder won. In this deep dive, we take stock of the frontier: the technical innovations, engineering constraints, and strategic paths now defining the race toward general-purpose robots.
