Global prize program challenges researchers to create embodied AI models to outperform human experts in various ‘moonshot’ outcomes
The BitRobot Foundation, an open robotics research and development lab, has launched its $5 million BitRobot Grand Challenges Fund, a global prize competition designed to accelerate breakthroughs in robotics and embodied AI.
Inspired by DARPA’s Grand Challenge that spurred advancement in self-driving technology, the program pits autonomous robotics AIs against human experts in high-stakes physical tasks.
Each category carries up to a $1 million grand prize for the first AI model to decisively outperform human benchmarks – offering clear evidence that the technology has reached full autonomy for that task.
