What is a Robot Foundation Model?
A robot foundation model is a general-purpose robotics AI model pre-trained on large-scale multimodal data. It is designed to transfer across tasks and environments rather than being hard-coded for one fixed operation.
How is it different from traditional control?
Traditional robot automation requires per-task rule programming and custom integration. Foundation-model approaches use language instructions, vision inputs, and demonstration data to adapt to new tasks faster.
Why does it matter?
As hardware commoditizes, competitive advantage shifts to the model layer. The same physical robot can deliver very different productivity depending on which foundation model stack is deployed.
