Samsung’s Big Bet on Humanoids, with Rainbow Robotics

Samsung and Rainbow Robotics - Plane

Hi, RoboPhil here, with a quick Robot Philosophy news update for you, and to also ask if you can please subscribe.

Big news from the tech world! 🚀 Samsung Electronics just leveled up in the robot game by grabbing a 35% stake in Rainbow Robotics. Yep, they’re not just making phones and TVs anymore – they’re diving headfirst into humanoids! 🤖

It all started with Samsung snagging 14.7% for a cool $59 million, but clearly, that wasn’t enough robot for them. So, they dropped another $181.6 million to become the largest shareholder. Guess they REALLY want a front-row seat in the robot uprising – I mean, development.

And here’s the kicker – Rainbow Robotics isn’t new to this. Their robot, Hubo, literally won a DARPA competition back in 2015. A robot that can win $2 million? I need one of those for my house!

Samsung says they’re blending Rainbow’s tech with their AI smarts to create next-level humanoids. Plus, they’re launching a Future Robotics Office that reports straight to the CEO. No pressure, right? 😅

So, buckle up – the future’s not just smart, it’s got two arms and probably do things better than me!
