Toyota's New AI Allows Robots to Master Complex Kitchen Tasks Just by Watching Humans
-
Toyota's new AI system masters complex robot tasks in just hours after watching humans demonstrate them. It uses a new learning approach called Diffusion Policy.
-
The system has learned over 60 kitchen tasks so far like using utensils, spreads, and tools. The robots even make pizza and pancakes.
-
Toyota is targeting over 1,000 learned robot behaviors by 2024. The goal is to create the first Large Behavior Model for physical robot skills.
-
The rapid learning allows non-expert humans to quickly teach robots new skills as needed. Entire robot fleets could be upgraded with new abilities.
-
The technology brings us closer to futuristic humanoid robots that can dynamically adapt to novel situations and tools designed for humans.
