Meta’s chief technology officer Andrew Bosworth said robotics software could be an ‘AR-sized bet,’ following the company making huge investments into AR projects like the Meta Ray-Ban Display.
Meta wants to become the software “backbone” of humanoid robots in the future, according to the tech giant’s technology boss. Chief technology officer Andrew Bosworth said in a recent talk at the company’s headquarters, reported by tech newsletter Sources, that he doesn’t care about Meta being a hardware manufacturer itself, but wants to focus on licensing its software to other manufacturers.
This approach, if it materializes, might not look too similar to Google’s take on the smartphone space. Google’s Android is used on about 72.5% of the world’s smartphones, despite its branded Pixel smartphones accounting for only around 2% of the global smartphone market.
“I don’t think the hardware is the hard part,” he said.
