Beyond Family Privilege: Spencer Huang's Path from Bartending to NVIDIA Robotics
INSIDE 硬塞 AI1d agoBusinessSpencer Huang, son of NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang, took an unconventional route instead of entering the company directly. He first founded a well-known bar and later pursued an MBA. Huang then joined NVIDIA as an intern and entered its robotics lab, reflecting a start-over-from-the-ground-up approach that differs from the typical narrative surrounding the children of corporate leaders.
3D-printable humanoid legs let robotics experiments run wild
Ars Technica AI7d agoHardwareArs Technica reports that Hugging Face has introduced a roughly $2,500 bipedal humanoid robot project built around 3D-printable legs. The effort targets builders and researchers rather than mainstream consumers, lowering the hardware barrier for hands-on robotics experiments. Its broader significance is in open, reproducible embodied AI research, where models and control systems need physical platforms for testing.
