An OpenAI spinoff has built an AI model that helps robots learn tasks like humans

Robotics firm Covariant unveils RFM-1, a model combining large language models with robot dexterity, trained on data from item-picking robots and the internet.
The platform's commercial success is expected in warehouse tasks like bin picking, reacting to complex instructions with physical actions.
Covariant aims to deploy RFM-1 to customers in the coming months, working with existing hardware and reflecting a shift in the robotics industry.

Covariant launches the first version of its ‘robot brain’ AI that learns by watching and listening.

The New York Times writes about this startup developing AI software to help sorting robots interact with the physical world. With videos or text input (users can talk with them like a chatbot), the robot can “learn” how to function in factories without long strings of instructions. Founded by former OpenAI researchers, Covariant’s work is the latest in a wave of robots integrating with AI foundation models.

An OpenAI spinoff has built an AI model that helps robots learn tasks like humans

In the summer of 2021, OpenAI quietly shuttered its robotics team, announcing that progress was being stifled by a lack of data necessary to train robots in how to move and reason using artificial intelligence. Now three of OpenAI’s early research scientists say the startup they spun off in 2017, called Covariant, has solved that problem and unveiled a system that combines the reasoning skills of large language models with the physical dexterit…
