Google DeepMind has announced a new push to develop robotics in Europe, according to a post on its site. The post, titled "Powering the future of robotics in Europe," frames the field as an important direction for the company's AI research and suggests that European researchers and engineers will play a central role.
The announcement is a company statement rather than an independent report, so it reflects DeepMind's own framing of its plans. There are no other sources to compare, and the post does not offer outside assessments of the effort.
Still, the post signals that DeepMind sees robotics as a natural extension of its work in AI. The focus on Europe also suggests the company wants to build on the region's research ecosystem as it moves toward physical systems.
