Two world leaders in robotics and humanoid artificial intelligence (AI), Boston Dynamics and Toyota Research Institute (TRI), have announced a new partnership. The companies will come together and integrate TRI’s Large Behavior Models (LBMs) with Boston Dynamic’s work on their humanoid robot Atlas. Boston Dynamics has also attracted investment from Hyundai, who are acting as a testing group for Atlas robots. “There has never been a more exciting time for the robotics industry, and we look forward to working with TRI to accelerate the development of general-purpose humanoids,” said Robert Playter, CEO of Boston Dynamics.
