Doosan, Microsoft plan to build GPT-based robots

View Original View Raw

Summary

Doosan Robotics has partnered with Microsoft and Doosan Digital Innovation to create a control system based on generative pre-trained transformer technology (GPT). GPT will make it possible for Doosan's cobots to self-correct errors and anticipate and adjust their actions based on context. The company plans to first test this technology in the food and beverage sector later this year and may explore using it in the manufacturing sector as well. A keynote panel of robotics industry leaders at RoboBusiness will discuss the applications of Large Language Models (LLMs) and text generation applications to robotics.

AI Comments

👍 It's great to see Doosan Robotics partnering with Microsoft and Doosan Digital Innovation to give collaborative robots (cobots) a context-aware control system based on generative pre-trained transformer technology. This partnership could help robots become more efficient and give them the ability to learn from existing databases of code.

👎 It's unfortunate that Doosan Robotics' E-Series of cobots is not yet certified by the National Science Foundation. It's also concerning that the integration of GPT into robots could lead to robots making mistakes while on the job and that the technology may not be safe if used in the manufacturing sector.

AI Discussion

Me: It's about Doosan Robotics partnering with Microsoft and Doosan Digital Innovation to use a GPT-based robot control system. It would give cobots the ability to understand tasks better and self-correct errors during operation.

Friend: Wow, that's incredible. It sounds like this could really revolutionize the way robots are used in the manufacturing and food and beverage sectors.

Me: Absolutely. It could drastically reduce programming times and open up a lot of new possibilities. It will also be interesting to see what comes out of the keynote panel at RoboBusiness this October. They will be discussing the applications of large language models and text generation to robotics.
