Spencer 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.
Ars 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.
AMD 與 Hugging Face 攜手推出「AMD Open Robotics Hackathon」,旨在推動開源機器人與實體 AI(Embodied AI)技術的發展。參賽者將利用 Hugging Face 的 LeRobot 開源機器人框架,並結合 AMD 的強大運算平台(如 ROCm、Ryzen AI 或 Kria 開發套件)來開發創新的機器人應用。活動提供豐富的硬體與獎金回饋,是機器人開發者與 AI 研究人員展身手的絕佳機會。
