It’s no secret that Microsoft has invested billions in OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT. That is a chatbot that many people gratefully use. For their homework, their day job — and now, apparently, for managing robots? Has Microsoft never heard of the Terminator?
Again, we should be okay with this. A team of Microsoft researchers previously published a paper about ChatGPT’s ability to manage robots. For example, a robot controlled by Artificial Intelligence can make you a cup of coffee.
Microsoft, ChatGPT, and Terminator: a deadly combination
We see, “Hey Chat, make a nice cup of coffee.” Suddenly a robot appears and walks independently to the kitchen. He takes a cup, turns on the machine, and presses the right buttons. Voila, you will have a nice cup of coffee in no time.
The research shows that ChatGPT can do a lot alone but needs help with some tasks. But this is usually because the input leaves room for interpretation, and things go wrong. The researchers can now operate robot arms, drones, and more by using the chatbot in combination with Microsoft.
Drone as a personal assistant
Many more brands are already made with robots. For example, iRobot is already working on a robot vacuum cleaner with arms, which can also use as a device for other things.
Combined with ChatGPT’s AI, this can result in the above situation. But MS shows that you can also use drones for this. They can quickly pick things up for you.
Microsoft Controls Robots And Drones
For example, the Microsoft Drone, supported by ChatGPT, can pick up a can of drink (“Pick up something with sugar and a red logo”). Check out the video in this post to get a good idea. Whether this is all positive or negative depends on how you feel about a future like the Terminator.
