    How Next-Gen Robots Are Revolutionizing Manufacturing w/ Nan Li

    Nan Li, Managing Director at Obvious Ventures, explains how next-generation robots are shifting from fixed, pre-programmed tasks to hyper-intelligent, adaptable systems capable of real-time environmental awareness. He details how advancements in computer vision and perception, largely driven by autonomous vehicle R&D from companies like Tesla and Waymo, have lowered costs and accelerated deployment for industrial robotics. Li highlights that these new systems, such as those from Dexterity, are becoming financially accessible through robotics-as-a-service models and can achieve production-ready speeds of 1,000 to 2,000 picks per hour in mixed-bin scenarios.
