Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Will a dice-playing robot eventually make you tea and do your dishes?
For many years, robots have been working in factories to do tasks
programmed, such as attaching parts, drilling holes, and moving things. Recently,
robots have been used in warehouses and distribution centers to load and unload
trucks, move pallets, and pick and pack items. Some of them use sensors, AI,
and machine learning to adapt to changing environments and requirements. Robots
with embodied AI can see, sense, recognize things around them, and act
accordingly to changing situations. Then, how soon will we see robots at home
to do or help with household chores, look after babies, or assist seniors? Since
home environments vary widely and change quickly, it is difficult to collect enough
data to pretrain robots to perform tasks in such dynamic environments that people
live in. However, even though today’s AI robots are still years away from being
able to perform household tasks as flexibly and safely as required, they can
learn quickly and better in the coming years. Imagine that AI robots were newborns.
It would be faster for them to become capable of performing household tasks
than human newborns.
Read the article and think when AI robots will be sold at home
appliance stores.
