Chinese ‘robot brain’ startup sees ChatGPT-style breakthrough as soon as next year
Humanoid robots will be able to complete most general-purpose tasks from verbal instructions as soon as next year, although becoming useful around the house will take much longer, said the head of a leading Chinese company developing robot brains.
After impressive hardware advances allowing Chinese humanoids to sprint, dance and do backflips on command, robot firms are increasingly focusing on the software that determines robots’ intelligence and enables them to do more economically productive tasks, a field known as “embodied AI”.
