DeepMind’s robotic ballet: An AI for coordinating manufacturing robots
An AI figures out how robots can get jobs done without getting in each other’s way.
A lot of the stuff we use today is largely made by robots—arms with multiple degrees of freedom positioned along conveyor belts that move in a spectacle of precisely synchronized motions. This decluttered the data, allowing the researchers to design a system that focused exclusively on what mattered most: finding the most efficient ways to complete tasks while navigating obstacles. After a few days of training on randomly generated work cells using a single Nvidia A100 GPU, the new industrial planning AI, called RoboBallet, could lay out seemingly viable trajectories through complex, previously unseen environments in a matter of seconds.
