DeepMind’s Robots

Google’s DeepMind says that it has developed an AI model, called RoboCat,

RoboCat can perform a range of tasks across different models of robotic arms. That alone isn’t much of a head turner. But DeepMind claims that the model is the first to be able to solve and adapt to multiple tasks and do so using different, real-world robots.

RoboCat is a self-improving AI agent for robotics. It learns to perform a wide range of tasks across different arms and then generates new training data on its own to improve itself.

Several researchers in the past have explored robots that can learn to multitask at scale and comprehend large language models along with the real-world capabilities of a helper robot. According to Google DeepMind, RoboCat is the first agent to perform and adapt to multiple tasks and to do the same across different real robots.
