Final Problem AI

Robotics has spent decades solving the problems that hold still. The final problem is Physical AI — AI for the unstructured, contact-rich, tolerance-tight physical world that people navigate and interact with effortlessly and machines still cannot.

I'm Minas Liarokapis, CEO of Acumino, and I write here about closing that gap.

What you'll find here

• Physical AI — what it takes to move learned policies off the benchmark and onto the factory floor.
• Dexterous robotic manipulation — contact, compliance, failure modes, and the things simulators still get wrong.
• Data & embodiment — human-in-the-loop data collection, teleoperation, other demonstration data, and scaling robot learning without scaling cost.
• Building Acumino — engineering and company-building notes from inside a company at the frontier of the Physical AI race.
