DeepMind is trying to train robots for real-world activities
Silicon Republic January 5, 2024
From more advanced AI models to a ‘robot constitution’, DeepMind claims its research will shape the future of robotics.
Google-owned DeepMind has revealed multiple research projects to create robots that make decisions faster and work in real-world scenarios.
The first of these is a system called AutoRT, which aims to use the power of AI to create robots that can “understand practical human goals”.
The system combines large foundational models – such as a large language model or a visual language model (VLM) – along with a robot control model. DeepMind claims this combination lets robots gather training data in new environments and is capable of impressive multitasking.
“AutoRT can simultaneously direct multiple robots, each equipped with a video camera...
