Meanwhile, OpenAI's ChatGPT has blazed a trail for Large Language Models (LLMs), setting the AI world on fire. In Microsoft's paper “ChatGPT for Robotics: Design Principles and Model Abilities,” a key challenge in applying AI innovation to robotics is observed: “Robotics is a diverse field where several platforms, scenarios, and tools exist. There exists an extensive variety of libraries and APIs….” The paper proposed a higher-level function library and prompt engineering tools to control robots with natural language. LLMs have huge potential in robotics,…

Kawasaki Robotics earlier this month introduced a new series of robot arms as part of a collaboration with NEURA Robotics. The CL Series is made up of four new robot arms offering payloads and reaches of 3kg/590mm (6.6 lb./23 in.), 5kg/800mm (11 lb./ 31 in.), 8kg/1300mm (17 lb./51. in.) and 10kg/1000mm (22 lb./39.3 in.), respectively. This is Kawasaki's first true cobot arm line, but it has been offering collaborative dual-arm SCARA robots through its duAro line for quite some time. The Tokyo-based company will show the public the cobots for the first time at Automatica in Munich, Germany, which runs…
