Robots can now learn to use tools—just by watching us

Despite decades of progress, most robots are still programmed for specific, repetitive tasks. They struggle with the unexpected and can’t adapt to new situations without painstaking reprogramming. But what if they could learn to use tools as naturally as a child does by watching videos?

A system that allows robots to use tools creatively by leveraging large language models

Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University and Google DeepMind recently developed RoboTool, a system that can broaden the capabilities of robots, allowing them to use tools in more creative ways. This system, introduced in a paper published on the arXiv preprint server, could soon bring a new wave of innovation and…

Robot see, robot do: System learns after watching how-to videos

Researchers have developed a new robotic framework powered by artificial intelligence -- called RHyME (Retrieval for Hybrid Imitation under Mismatched Execution) -- that allows robots to learn tasks by watching a single how-to video.
