Ford Launches New Robotics and AI Research Team
Ford’s new robotics and AI research team will collaborate with Argo AI, a company in which Ford holds a majority stake. The team will also explore partnerships and acquisitions in the field. The new team will focus on various areas including drones, personal mobility platforms, automation, and aerial robotics.
Ford’s investment in this new research group is a clear indication of its strategic focus on AI and robotics. These technologies are expected to significantly impact the automotive industry in the coming years. Ford also plans to have two separate fleets of self-driving vehicles: one led by its own team focusing on advanced research and another led by Argo AI focused on development and testing for commercial deployment in 2021.
Ford is not alone in its focus on AI and robotics research. Other automakers, including Honda and Toyota, are also investing heavily in these fields. This race to develop advanced robotics and AI technologies reflects the growing importance of these fields in the future of transportation.
