Rivian has appointed Doug Field as president of Mind Robotics, a new industrial AI and robotics startup created by the electric vehicle maker. Field, known for his senior engineering roles at Tesla, Apple and Ford, will oversee day-to-day product, engineering and operations. The company is developing purpose-built manufacturing robots rather than humanoid designs, positioning itself as a practical alternative in the crowded robotics field.

Why now: Doug Field's move from high-profile automotive roles into robotics draws attention to Rivian's expansion beyond vehicles.
