…world state with a single model - similar to ChatGPT for language - but for spatial AI. The robots are designed to be put on the property and turned on. Using only AI, they can understand the lawn around them and efficiently care for it. Electric Sheep’s robots, Verdie and RAM, don’t require an engineer on site. The company says they can be shipped to a campus, HOA or park and begin tasks alongside the crew because of Electric Sheep’s full stack data channel and the large volume of data that the robots are continually trained on. Electric Sheep is…

…particularly in the perceptions of the public and policymakers. ChatGPT is flashy, and many in the media make people think about fears rather than opportunities. Artificial intelligence is going to have a significant impact in robotics. Right now, the hype around the pace of development is oustripping the actual pace of practical applications in manufacturing, logistics, and many other industries. Policymakers get all ginned up about jobs, but we should focus on developing applications where those technologies improve our ability to do things. People are worried about robotic battlefields. That's not to diminish the importance of their concerns, but that's…

…Bei Wu, Neurology Live Aging demographic can benefit from ChatGPT In a population health study cited by Surgeon General Murthy, the demographic that is most isolated in America is people over the age of 65. This is also the group that is most affected by physical and cognitive decline due to loneliness. Doctors Xiang Qi and Bei Wu presented to Neurology Live a survey of the benefits of AI in their June paper, “ChatGPT: A Promising Tool to Combat Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults With Mild Cognitive Impairment. “ChatGPT can provide emotional support by offering a nonjudgmental space…

…(CSAIL). While the former is better known today for ChatGPT, in 2018, it made headlines by training a human-like robot hand to manipulate physical objects with unprecedented dexterity by using a reinforcement learning algorithm and code. CSAIL also relied on advances in deep learning to reorient a robotic hand to handle over 2,000 objects. As the pace of AI innovation continues to accelerate, we’re not far from seeing deep learning models for robotic dexterity deployed in real-world assembly lines. Giving robots awareness of their hands and feet The final sense of touch that humans need to pass on to robots…
