This Is a Glimpse of the Future of AI Robots
Physical Intelligence, a well-funded startup chasing breakthroughs in robotic intelligence, has developed a robot capable of doing various household chores remarkably well.
The idea of a robot that does a wide range of household chores, from unloading the dryer to folding laundry to cleaning up a messy table, has long seemed like pure science fiction—perhaps most famously embodied by the 1960s fantasy that was Rosey in The Jetsons. “The amount of data we're training on is larger than any robotics model ever made, by a very significant margin, to our knowledge,” says Sergey Levine, a cofounder of Physical Intelligence and an associate professor at UC Berkeley. Folding clothing is especially challenging for robots, requiring more general intelligence about the physical world, Hausman says, because it involves dealing with a wide range of flexible items that deform and crumple unpredictably.
