Prior to now yr, advances in synthetic intelligence dominated the information cycle. OpenAI’s Generate Pre-trained Transformer, or GPT 3.5, gained 100 million customers in simply two months. And whereas researchers and builders are already utilizing generative AI to allow robots to study difficult manipulation duties extra shortly, it’s not but clear how this expertise breakthrough might be utilized to robotics at scale.
On the 2024 Robotics Summit & Expo, which might be on the Boston Conference & Exhibition Middle on Could 1 and a couple of, a panel will focus on the applying of huge language fashions (LLMs) and text-generation functions to robotics. The audio system can even discover how generative AI can profit robotics design, mannequin coaching, simulation, management, human-machine interplay, and extra.
Generative AI consultants to talk
The Robotics Summit & Expo panel will embody the next generative AI consultants:
Sandra Skaff is senior alliances and ecosystem supervisor at NVIDIA. There, she leads robotics ecosystem improvement and works with cross-functional groups to help companions and clients in creating their merchandise utilizing NVIDIA’s Isaac platform.
