AI in Robotics: Hugging Face and Nvidia Open-Source the Thinking Code
Open source code is now helping robots think and make decisions. Hugging Face launched the LeRobot platform with 58 thousand datasets, Nvidia opened its full stack of training frameworks, and Alibaba released the foundation model RynnBrain. The barrier to entry in robotics is falling as fast as it once fell for building AI applications.

When Hugging Face and Nvidia opened the source code for artificial intelligence in robotics, engineers gained new tools for building robots that think.
Why does robotics need open AI?
To teach robots to think on their own. Open source code lets engineers use these tools to build robots that make their own decisions without having every action programmed in advance.
