Engineers aim to give robots a bit of common sense when faced with situations that push them off their trained path, so they can self-correct after missteps and carry on with their chores. The team’s method connects robot motion data with the common sense knowledge of large language models, or LLMs.
In a groundbreaking leap for robotics, a team at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) has propelled the field forward by integrating sensitive synthetic skin into humanoid robots. This innovative system, inspired by human skin, marries artificial skin with advanced control algorithms, giving birth to the world’s first autonomous humanoid robot adorned with full-body artificial skin.
