Microsoft is expanding its involvement in general-purpose robotics AI through strategic investments and partnerships.

Following a substantial Series B funding round for Figure, the tech giant has now announced a collaboration with Sanctuary AI, a key competitor in the field.

This partnership underscores Microsoft’s focus on artificial general intelligence, aiming to develop humanoid robots capable of learning and reasoning like humans.

Sanctuary’s expertise in designing hardware for such robots complements Microsoft’s commitment to AI development, Tech Crunch reported.

With Sanctuary’s successful testing across various industries, this collaboration signifies a significant step forward in the quest for advanced robotics capabilities, albeit still in its early stages.
