Google DeepMind's Chatbot-Powered Robot Is Part of a Bigger Revolution
Robotics researchers are exploring how large language models can give physical machines more smarts.
Gemini and other chatbots mostly operate within the confines of a web browser or app, although they are increasingly able to handle visual and auditory input, as both Google and OpenAI have demonstrated recently. Several of the researchers involved with the Google project have since left the company to found a startup called Physical Intelligence, which received an initial $70 million in funding; it is working to combine large language models with real-world training to give robots general problem-solving abilities. They add that Gemini should be able to make sense of more complex questions, such as “Do they have my favorite drink today?” from a user with a lot of empty Coke cans on their desk.
