Companies Use AI to Help Robots Learn Tasks Faster

Major robotics companies have developed new training methods that help robots learn tasks more quickly using generative AI technology. Agility Robotics, Amazon, Covariant, Robust AI, and Toyota Research Institute are testing these systems.

The new approach combines different types of data - from sensors, human operators, and online videos - to teach robots complex tasks.

This method changes how robots learn jobs like dishwashing, replacing traditional programming with data from multiple sources.

Companies are testing these robots in warehouses and factories before considering home applications.

The technology aims to solve a key robotics challenge: creating machines that can work without constant human oversight.

Researchers use the same principles that power large language models to help robots understand and adapt to different situations.

The systems are still in development, with companies focusing first on industrial applications.
