Impact of AI in Robotics

The integration of generative AI in robotics has become prevalent, with academic conferences showcasing sessions on generative models. These models are used to handle high-level reasoning, while a separate robot controller executes physical tasks. Researchers are exploring the use of large language models to instruct robots in tasks like making a turkey sandwich, showcasing advancements in task delegation to robots. Startups are also leveraging large language models to enable humanoid robots for home and factory assistance, changing the landscape of robotics applications.
