Microsoft trains ChatGPT to control robots

Robots still rely heavily on hand-written codes to perform their tasks, while humans find spoken language the most intuitive way to communicate. Microsoft has worked to alter this reality and "make natural human-robot interactions possible using OpenAI's new AI language model, ChatGPT." The team plans to leverage the platform's ability to develop coherent and grammatically correct responses to various prompts and questions and see if ChatGPT can think beyond the text and reason about the physical world to help with robotics tasks. "We want to help people interact with robots more easily, without needing to learn complex programming languages or details about robotic systems." The key obstacle in the way for a language model based on AI is to solve problems considering the laws of physics, the context of the operating environment, and how the robot's physical actions can change the state of the world.
