The chapter explores how generative AI models like ChatGPT are being integrated into robots for improved reasoning abilities and task performance. It discusses the impact of deploying reasoning for robot movements directly on the robot or remotely on a server, highlighting advancements in techniques like diffusion policy, ACT, and deep reinforcement learning. The conversation also delves into the importance of verification in robotics, the concept of retrieval augmented methods, and the role of physics simulations and digital twins in optimizing robot functionalities.
ChatGPT has been out for more than a year and has since become the centerpiece of intense discussion and debate about AI.
Christian Hubicki is a renowned robotics research scientist and an Assistant Professor of Mechanical Engineering at Florida State University. In 2023, he was a guest on Software Engineering Daily, where he discussed ChatGPT and its implications with Sean Falconer. Christian now joins Sean again to check in about the state of AI and its future directions.
Sean’s been an academic, startup founder, and Googler. He has published works covering a wide range of topics from information visualization to quantum computing.
