Ex‑NVIDIA exec Amulya Vishwanath says robotics is in a 'Lego era' and hasn't had a ChatGPT moment
Amulya Vishwanath, who led product marketing for NVIDIA’s robotics platforms for seven years and is now founder and managing partner at Techable VC, told TechCrunch’s Equity podcast that robotics remains in a "Lego era" with core components like actuators, hands, software and safety still being rebuilt, and that it hasn’t had a single-foundation‑model "ChatGPT moment." Her view contrasts with proponents who expect general foundation models to rapidly consolidate specialized robotics work.
