Apple’s ELEGNT AI Framework Can Help Non-Humanoid Robots Convey Intent Via Movement

Apple researchers have developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) framework that will allow non-humanoid robots to express their intentions and engage with humans. Dubbed ELEGNT, the framework focuses on non-verbal communication via movements, postures, and gestures. Alongside focusing on task completion, the framework specialises in allowing robots to express intention, attention, and emotions with movements….

MIT Unveils Novel Method of Training General-Purpose Robots Using Generative AI Techniques

Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) unveiled a new method to train robots last week that uses generative artificial intelligence (AI) models. The new technique relies on combining data across different domains and modalities and unifying them into a shared language which can then be processed by large language models (LLMs). MIT researchers claim that this…
