Thanks to Google AI, Robots Can Now Generate Their Own Code

One of the more common approaches used to control robots is to programme them with code on detecting objects and feedback loops to specify if they should perform certain tasks. These programmes come at a cost, where reprogramming policies for each task can become time consuming. When provided with natural language instructions, language models at present are highly proficient at not only writing generic code but also generating instructions that let the user control the actions of the robots as well. What if robots could autonomously write their own code to interact with the whole world? One such latest language model, like PaLM, is capable of complex reasoning and has been trained on millions of codes.
