Luma Opens Physical AI Lab to Tackle Robotics Generalization With World Models

Luma AI has launched the Open Physical AI Lab, an open-science effort aimed at solving one of robotics' hardest problems: getting AI-controlled machines to adapt when real-world conditions change. The company says the lab will focus on world models for physical AI, arguing that robots remain far less general than language and multimodal models because they are often trained to repeat narrow tasks in narrow settings.
