Meta has acquired Assured Robot Intelligence (ARI), a startup focused on developing AI models for robots, marking a significant step in its push toward humanoid technology.

As part of the deal, ARI’s team—including co-founders Lerrel Pinto and Xiaolong Wang—will join Meta Superintelligence Labs. They will collaborate closely with Meta Robotics Studio, a division established last year to build core technologies for humanoid robots.

Wang previously worked as a researcher at NVIDIA, while Pinto co-founded Fauna Robotics, which was acquired by Amazon earlier this year to support its own humanoid robotics ambitions.

Meta described ARI as operating at the cutting edge of robotic intelligence, developing systems that enable robots to understand, predict, and adapt to human behavior in complex environments. The company added that the team’s expertise will strengthen its capabilities in robot control, self-learning systems, and full-body humanoid functionality.
