Google has created a robot brain called PaLM-E that can do many different things when people tell it what to do.
SHORT: Google and some researchers from a university made a new smart robot that can do many things without being told how to do each one. It can see things and understand what they mean, like finding chips in a drawer, and then make a plan to get them. The robot doesn't need people to tell it what to do, it can figure it out on its own. The researchers made it by teaching it with a lot of pictures and words. They hope it can be used to help people at home or work. LONG: Google and the Technical University of Berlin recently unveiled a multimodal embodied visual-language model (VLM) with 562 billion parameters named PaLM-E, which integrates vision and language for robotic control. PaLM-E is claimed to be the largest VLM developed to date and can perform a variety of tasks without the need for retraining. When given a high-level command, such as "bring me the rice chips from the drawer," PaLM-E can generate a plan of action for a mobile robot platform with an arm develope...
