Meta just acquired Assured Robot Intelligence.


Their team is the story.
Co-founder Lerrel Pinto previously co-founded Fauna Robotics, left in 2025, and Amazon acquired Fauna in March for its own humanoid push.
His work sits deep in robot learning: imitation, teleoperation, tactile dexterity, mobile manipulation and deployment adaptation.
Co-founder Xiaolong Wang is a UCSD professor and was previously a researcher at Nvidia.
His work spans vision, representation learning, robot learning and whole-body control.
ARI was building toward the intelligence layer for humanoids. Now the team is joining Meta Superintelligence Labs and working with Meta Robotics Studio.
