Technology giant Google created a 'constitution' for robots to limit the harm caused by robots. Google is hopeful that its Deep Mind robotics division will one day create a helper robot that can follow commands like cleaning the house or cooking a meal.
However, a seemingly simple request can turn out to be dangerous with the robot's understanding, meaning a robot may not know that the house should not be cleaned in a way that harms the homeowner. Former singer Robi Pirzada quietly married Google, which has introduced a set of new systems.
Which the company believes will make it easier to create robots that can help without causing harm. These systems aim to help robots make faster decisions and better understand and navigate their surroundings.
The breakthrough includes a new system called AutoRT that uses artificial intelligence to understand human intentions. The system does this using the Large Language Model (LLM).
The system takes data from cameras mounted on the robot and feeds it to a visual language model (VLM), which can understand the environment and the objects in it and describe it in words. This data is then sent to the LLM, which understands these words, lists the possible tasks, and then decides which tasks should be performed.
