Built in four days, this $120 robot arm cleans a spill with help from GPT-4o


Large language models have already proven transformative for robotics. While researchers and companies alike utilize the platforms to supercharge robotic

While researchers and companies alike utilize the platforms to supercharge robotic learning, a pair of roboticists at UC Berkeley and ETH Zurich challenged themselves by leveraging generative AI to put a cheap robot arm to work. Jannik Grothusen and Kaspar Janssen trained a pair of $120 robot arms to clean a spill. Using GPT-4o, the robots were programmed in four days, designing a visual language model for human-robot-interaction (HRI).
