A startup founded by ex-DeepMind engineers wants to turn its customers into robot teachers
The CEO of robotics firm Reimagine Robotics said that the startup plans to build actually useful robots by turning its customers into teachers.
Former Google DeepMind engineers have co-founded a robotics startup called Reimagine Robotics with the goal of transforming customers into robot teachers. The team aims to bridge a 100,000-year data gap in robotics by developing robots that can learn and adapt on the job. Reimagine's CEO, Jonathan Scholz, stated that his experience at Google made him realize the need for customers to teach their robots new skills.
The startup is backed by VC firms Fly Ventures and Firstminute Capital and is currently working with manufacturing businesses to test its robotic arms. By allowing customers to teach robots new behaviors through physical manipulation, Reimagine aims to overcome the challenge of limited training data and move robots from flashy demos to real-world applications.
