Robot Shoe-Tying Fail: Google’s AI Still Can’t Match a Kindergartner
Google DeepMind’s latest robot can tie shoes—sort of. Despite its two arms and fancy AI, it’s still no match for the average 5-year-old. But hey, at least it’s making strides in robot dexterity!
Hot Take:
Looks like Google DeepMind’s robot just got a PhD in shoe-tying from the School of Hard Knocks! If you ever needed a reminder that robots are still years away from taking over the world, just remember: even your five-year-old niece can tie her shoes better than this mechanical marvel.
Key Points:
- Google DeepMind’s robot can tie a shoe, albeit poorly.
- The robot uses two arms for the task, termed “bi-arm manipulation.”
- Powered by new AI systems: ALOHA Unleashed and DemoStart.
- Robots are being developed to perform human-like activities, but success varies.
- The goal is to achieve autonomous manufacturing, though we are far from it.
