The data to be translated: Google DeepMind's robotics head, Brian Heater, discusses general-purpose robots, generative AI, and the significance of office WiFi. The team recently launched Open X-Embodiment, a robot capabilities database created in collaboration with 33 research institutions, which is expected to propel advancements in robotics akin to ImageNet. The development of general-purpose robots may still take some time, but generative AI will play a crucial role in this process. Simulated environments and generative AI are poised to drive continuous progress in robotics, enabling robots to perform a wider range of tasks more effectively.
