Meta is kim dawson sex video free downloadlooking to be the go-to marketplace for robo-tech, with the company planning to develop its own humanoid robot hardware and later become a lead developer of the robots' AI-based backbone.
The effort will be spearheaded by a new hardware division in Meta's Reality Labs (Quest VR and Ray-Ban smart glasses), reported Bloomberg, and will focus on robotics that can help with household tasks, first. Plans for a Meta-branded robot butler aren't happening yet, according to the company, but they're not off the table.

Meta's new division will also focus on developing robot safety standards.
"The core technologies we’ve already invested in and built across Reality Labs and AI are complementary to developing the advancements needed for robotics," wrote Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth in an internal memo. "We believe that expanding our portfolio to invest in this field will only accrue value to Meta AI and our mixed and augmented reality programs."
