Google revealed the PaLM-SayCan, a robot driven by artificial intelligence (AI) that can reply to human orders. The prototype produced by Everyday Robots — a business owned by Alphabet, the parent company of Google — was intended to comprehend messages as well as complete pre-programmed duties.
According to the engineers involved in the research, the bot interprets queries using AI language processing and then narrows down its possible responses using a set of 100 broad skills with which it has been trained to interact more organically.
“You can tell the robot, ‘I’ve spilled my drink; can you help?’ According to prototype researcher Brian Ichter, the bot then filters the command through an internal list of probable activities and interprets it as “bring me the kitchen sponge.”
According to Google’s photos, the robot is capable of working silently in a standard kitchen. He can open drawers, manipulate food, sort organic waste from recyclable waste, and converse with humans.
According to the company, robots equipped with the PaLM-SayCan system are able to plan accurate responses to 101 user commands 84% of the time and execute them effectively 74% of the time, demonstrating their capacity to comprehend and do basic daily chores.
“Essentially, the robot listens to and complies with commands. They are simple requests such as picking up or bringing something, but it is precisely this simplicity in the capacity to comprehend that makes the system incredibly agile and functional, according to Karol Hausman, an engineer at Everyday Robots.
The system underlying PaLM-SayCan is built on the Pathways language model, a platform for artificial intelligence with 540 billion predefined parameters used to imitate comprehension tests and generate genuine language.
This system’s “brain” is comprised of data in English and other languages, as well as information collected in Internet publications, books, informal discussions, and code published on GitHub. This increases the robot’s vocabulary, enabling it to comprehend several commands.
This model is only a prototype and is not yet ready for commercial release. This is only a preview of what the PaLM-SayCan system will offer in the future, concludes Google Research Robotics Lead Vincent Vanhoucke.
