Robots that See what You Mean – Avi Geiger

Deep Future

Avi Geiger is founder of GroundLight, a toolkit that helps robots understand what humans are telling them to do and connect that to what they see around them.

Avi Geiger is a super creative roboticist in Seattle, and I got a chance to sit down and pick his brain. He built a company called PicoBrew a little while ago after a career at Microsoft making hardware. PicoBrew was a way for people to do their own brewing at home, he built an entirely automated factory for it. I was always really impressed with the clever things he came up with. Now he has a company working on making robotics much more practical to integrate with AI, meaning how do you get the language models connected up to the vision models? So when you talk to a robot about what it needs to do, how do you correlate that input to what it’s seeing in the world. Avi’s new company called GroundLight is building the toolkit you need to do that.
