The super project of the robot track has arrived @ UMA_Sobots
The core team of Hugging Face, an AI company valued at over 4.5 billion US dollars, is starting a new business
The project has just been public for 5 days
1/Project Consultant
Yann LeCun and Yang Likun
Father of deep learning, winner of the 2018 Turing Award (Nobel Prize in Computer Science)
Yann LeCun is also an angel investor in UMA
Thomas Wolf
Co founder and Chief Scientist of Hugging Face
Hugging Face is valued at over $4.5 billion
Starting from teenage chatbots, it is now the core engine of AI democratization
Youssef El Manssouri
Sesterce co-founder and CEO
Sesterce is a company that specializes in building supercomputing infrastructure for AI training and inference
A 52 billion euro investment plan aims to deploy 1.2 million GPUs by 2030.
2/Founding Team
Rémi Cadene(CEO)
Chief Research Scientist of Hugging Face, Senior Scientist at Tesla
Hugging Face open-source robot learning framework LeRobot creator
Simon Alibert
Hugging Face Machine Learning Engineer
Pierre Sermanet (Chief Scientific Officer)
PhD from New York University, top researcher in the fields of computer vision and robotics learning
Google DeepMind research scientists
A 20-year veteran of deep learning and robotics research
From the perspective of team composition, it is basically the core team of Hugging Face's robotics department starting a new business, with the full support of Hugging Face's founder.
3/Technological Differentiation: Physical Intelligence
The core of UMA is not traditional "task execution robots", but "physical intelligence" - allowing robots to truly understand the operating laws of the physical world.
It is expected to start pilot deployment in the logistics, manufacturing, and medical fields in 2026.
Specific manifestations:
Human level dexterity operation
Real time adaptation to complex environments
Skills learned from one task can be transferred to other scenarios
Lightweight design+maintainability, truly oriented towards mass production
Let me give you an analogy.
Traditional industrial robots are hard programmed, and each action needs to be pre-set.
UMA aims to achieve soft intelligence, where robots can observe, learn, and adjust like humans.
4/Conclusion
According to official sources, UMA's seed round investors include top institutions such as Greycroft, Relentless Ventures, and Unity Growth.
All of them are top institutions in Web2.
But at the same time, there is also a group of T0 Crypto KOLs promoting UMA.
Whether UMA will ultimately go public or issue coins can only be said to be half and half.
