A group of engineers recently gave the well-known Boston Dynamics robot dog Google's Text-to-Speech voice modulation and OpenAI's ChatGPT, enabling it to converse with them and respond to their inquiries.
A machine learning engineer demonstrated how a Spot robot dog was trained to vocally respond to system inquiries using the most well-liked artificial intelligence technology at the time in a video shared on Twitter.
As a result of the integration, which was carried out by machine-learning engineer Santiago Valdarrama, effective query data collection is made possible, allowing ChatGPT to analyze queries and provide responses in real time.
These robots do daily automatic tasks. Each operation utilizes configuration files that are kilometers large and difficult to comprehend. Only specialists can manage them. The robots collect a huge amount of data at the conclusion of each operation. There isn't a straightforward method to question all of it instantly, Santiago said in a tweet on April 25.
Spot now accepts instructions and provides useful feedback thanks to the integration, which necessitated the creation of particular terminology and routines for ChatGPT to operate effectively.
While AI is gaining traction in a number of industries, including filmmaking, some people worry that its use in industries like the arts might result in the loss of jobs for people.
According to tech news site Futurism, Microsoft published a document explaining architectural ideas for ChatGPT integration into robots earlier in February.
According to the company's release, “We believe that our work is just the beginning of a shift in how we develop robotics systems.” They said that they hoped to motivate further scholars to enter this fascinating topic.
Some viewers voiced worries about the speed at which AI-integrated technologies are developing after the footage of the robot was posted on Twitter.
Do concerns about what these SHOULD NOT DO and how to prevent going down a route that might result in immoral applications arise? Although AI and robots are here to stay, I'm interested whether you and your team are cost-effectively considering them in addition to the work you're now doing. I'm grateful. cheers,” one of the uneasy users responded to Santiago's video upload.
“I appreciate your research and work, but I just don't think we should be connecting bots to GPT at this time…even in this restricted context,” another user said.
A user said solemnly, “This is how the Terminator movie starts.”
