This AI-Powered Robot Keeps Going Even if You Attack It With a Chainsaw
A single AI model trained to control numerous robotic bodies can operate unfamiliar hardware and adapt eerily well to serious injuries.
For Deepak Pathak, cofounder and CEO of the startup Skild AI, the dystopian feat of adaptation is an encouraging sign of a new, more general kind of robotic intelligence. Existing methods for training robotic AI models, such as having algorithms learn to control a particular system through teleoperation or in simulation, do not generate enough data, Pathak says. It trained Skild Brain on a range of simulated robot arms and found that the resulting model could control unfamiliar hardware and adapt to sudden changes in its environment like a reduction in lighting.
