Generalist AI Shows GEN-1.5 Robot Foundation Model
Video shows dual-arm robot learning new manipulations from seconds of human demonstration after pretraining.
Generalist AI posted a video of its dual-arm robot system operating as a foundation model for physical tasks. Replies from researchers and founders describe the model learning novel manipulations such as phone flipping after brief human demonstrations. Several posts compare the release to the GPT-3 moment for robotics. The company's linked post states that the capabilities come from pretraining on large-scale physical data and appear in-context after short demonstrations.
Introducing GEN-1.5, a one-shot learner. It can learn new tasks in a few seconds. Show it what to do, and it generalizes. This capability emerged from pretraining on physical data at scale, as a step towards our mission of building general intelligence for the physical world.
