Robotics Has Been Stuck for 70 Years — Deepak Pathak, Skild AI
CMU professor and Skild AI co-founder Deepak Pathak argues that robotics has been stuck for 70 years because it was framed as a hardware problem, and that scaling it like language models requires judging every data source on scalability, diversity, and closeness to the robot, then feeding deployment data back into a flywheel that only an omnibody brain — any robot, any task, one brain — makes possible.
