The most advanced technology of artificial intelligence inside robot humanoids: no, it’s not the beginning of the apocalypse in a sci-fi movie, but the new agreement between Figure e OpenAIthe company behind ChatGPT.
Artificial intelligence in humanoid robots: agreement between Figure and OpenAI
Figure builds machinery with humanoid appearance: the next step is to insert theartificial intelligence in his robot. News that can only unleash our imagination — both for those who fear the robot apocalypse and for those who dream of a future where robots walk among us every day. But it has current applications and concrete investments, already underway.
Figure has, in fact, recently closed a massive funding round from 675 million dollarswith giants like Jeff Bezos Of Amazon, Microsoft e Nvidia who have bet on this emerging company. Important investments, especially considering that Figure has not yet launched a commercial product. But he signed a deal with OpenAIwhich promises to be the first step towards commercial humanoid robots that are truly functional. Or, at least, that’s what Silicon Valley imagines.
Androids that understand language (and learn quickly)
The plan of Figure it’s clear: he wants to strengthen his team robot with the skill di understand the language through theartificial intelligence. In essence, they want their own humanoids learn faster and adapt to situations more intelligently.
As Futurism points out, the company has already shown some of its robots performing some simple tasks. Figure 01 He demonstrated how it works by walking, picking up objects and placing them on a conveyor belt.
In a another videowe saw the robot who operated one coffee machine. Brett Adcock, CEO of Figuredescribed this feat as “revolutionary,” attributing it to “aend-to-end artificial intelligence” which allowed the robot to learn all phases in a single iteration.
With the entry of OpenAI in the game, the goal is to develop “models of artificial intelligence next generation for humanoid robots“. Simply put, they want their own robot are able to “process and reason from language”, and then replace people in unsafe, repetitive and boring operations. No robot revolution or androids dreaming of electric sheep: they will do the “jobs that humans no longer want to do”. Or, at least, what Figure thinks they don’t want to do anymore.
Is fusing humanoid robots and artificial intelligence the future?
Figure he wants robots that look and talk like people. And he’s not the only player in this growing industry. Tesla has its own Optimus, which Elon Musk presented as a person dressed as a robot in the first announcement, but who in the last year has started walking and picking up objects. Also Agility Robotics is making its move, with hopes of opening a factory to produce thousands of two robots.
Best Tesla
Tech companies seem to believe a lot in these products. Even if, for the moment, they remain rather vague on potential uses. If developing a human-like robot capable of communicating captures the enthusiasm of tech enthusiasts, companies may be less willing to spend large sums on them — especially if “simple” robots do the same operations for much less. A mechanical arm on wheels could move objects better than a humanoid robot.
So, for now, it remains difficult to say whether in the future our factories and streets will be full of robots that resemble us in appearance and in the way they communicate. But we know Silicon Valley is trying. What do you think about it? Let us know in the comments.
