The robotics industry is still in its foundational building stage rather than reaching an overnight breakthrough, according to venture capitalist Amulya Vishwanath.
Speaking on TechCrunch's Equity podcast, the Techable Ventures founder described the sector as being in a LEGO era rather than experiencing a ChatGPT moment. She noted that companies are currently building basic hardware components like robotic hands and actuators, along with foundational software blocks that will eventually form advanced general- and special-purpose robots.
Vishwanath spent nearly seven years as a product marketer at Nvidia before launching her firm, which focuses on physical AI. She previously held marketing roles at an Intel-acquired company and worked as a digital signal processing engineer at Interconnect Systems before its acquisition by Molex.
To help startups stay competitive against major players like Anthropic and Nvidia, Vishwanath stated that her firm uses its network to connect founders with top industry talent.
