Topics
Elon Musk: 我认为AI技术可以成功应用于人形机器人,软件和AI推理计算机都适用于此类机器人。 Google: 我们正在将Gemini 2.0的智能应用于物理世界中的通用机器人代理。 Moojin Kim: 我们正在使用AI技术开发新型机器人,但这仍然是一个漫长的过程,还有很多工作要做。 Geoff Brumfiel: 传统的机器人编程需要工程师编写详细的指令,而AI技术可以通过让机器人学习任务来简化这一过程。AI机器人通过强化和削弱神经网络中的连接来学习任务。 Chelsea Finn: AI有潜力使机器人能够理解并执行简单的日常任务,例如制作三明治、清洁厨房或补充杂货店的货架。我们的长期目标是开发软件,使机器人能够在任何情况下都能够智能地运行。 Regina Barber: AI机器人技术有望实现通过简单的指令完成复杂任务的可能性,例如制作冰淇淋圣代。 Ken Goldberg: 尽管AI技术发展迅速,但AI驱动的机器人技术尚未达到科幻作品中描绘的水平。机器人AI的训练数据不足,限制了其发展速度,需要海量数据才能达到与虚拟聊天机器人一样的水平。 Phulkit Agrawal: 利用模拟环境可以加速机器人AI的训练,但在处理复杂物理交互方面存在局限性。模拟环境在处理诸如抓取物体等任务时,由于对力的理解不足,容易导致物体飞出或机器人损坏。 Matthew Johnson-Roberson: 将AI应用于机器人面临着更深层次的问题,不仅仅是数据量的问题,还在于问题的定义方式。机器人需要完成的任务比预测下一个单词复杂得多,需要找到合适的训练方法。

Deep Dive

Chapters
The episode explores the integration of AI into robotics, moving beyond virtual applications and into physical reality. It starts by mentioning Tesla's Optimus and Google's AI-powered humanoid robots, highlighting the gap between ambitious claims and practical achievements in robotics.
  • AI's presence in virtual life (search, phones, emails),
  • Tesla's Optimus and Google's humanoid robots powered by AI,
  • Historical disappointment of robots compared to expectations

Shownotes Transcript

It seems like artificial intelligence is everywhere in our virtual lives. It's in our search results and our phones. But what happens when AI moves out of the chat and into the real world? NPR science editor and correspondent Geoff Brumfiel) took a trip to the Intelligence through Robotic Interaction at Scale Lab at Stanford University to see how scientists are using AI to power robots and the large hurdles that exist for them to perform even simple tasks.**Read Geoff's [**full story**](http://esearchersare working on software that would allow robots to understand and execute commands.)). ***Interested in more AI stories?
