Arm Launches Physical AI Unit

Arm Launches Physical AI Unit

Arm, a company that makes technology for chips, has started a new team called Physical AI.

This team will focus on robots and cars.

Arm doesn't make chips itself but provides the technology that powers many devices like smartphones and laptops.

The new team will work with companies that make robots and cars.

Arm thinks robots can help people by doing tasks that free up time and might even help the economy.

At a big tech show called CES, many companies showed off their robots, which can do things like dance, play games, and work in factories.

Chinese companies also showed off their robots, which can do things like play table tennis, sweep floors, and practice kung fu.

Some people in the US are worried about how fast China is making these robots.

Arm's new team will add more people to work on robotics and will use technology similar to what's used in cars.
