Many 'smart' devices in the home can do this. It's called speech recognition, and is, on a programming level, a lot simpler than you'd imagine. For this 'robot' you're simply adding that same, everyday ability. Within each spoken phrase are 'action' words. Everything you see here is, in actual fact, as far from 'real' AI as you can get. Real AI, of course, doesn't exist today...thankfully for us ;)

[@ShawnFumo]

@@ChrisM541 It is actually a bit more "real" than you may be assuming. If you look at Selena's account in the description and look at the 3PO repo, can see there is barely any code involved. The audio is sent to Whisper for transcription. Then a prompt is sent to GPT-3.5 which tells it it is a 2ft tall robot that is very sarcastic. It also tells it about 8 diff commands it can use like up, down, go forward, turn left, and speak and that it should just respond with those commands and gives four different examples. Then it just appends the transcription to the end of that and sends it to OpenAI and runs the commands that come back. Most of the commands are sent over a socket connection to the robot, while the speak one uses ElevenLabs text to speech. But GPT-3.5 is deciding on its own how to reply and that going in a square is 8 commands of forward, turn right, forward, etc. The prompt also said it should reject commands it can't do by speaking about it, but it decided on its own to do the pushups instead of getting the drink. It also decided it couldn't do it just by knowing that it was 2 feet tall and didn't have arms. I pasted the prompt into GPT-4 along with a description of a small obstacle course and it emitted the correct commands to do it. I even left off all the examples in the original prompt (just leaving the descriptions of the commands themselves), since I heard GPT-4 didn't need examples for using tools, and that was correct.

[@Blox117]

@@ShawnFumo what do you mean gpt 3.5? i thought they were using 4

[@ShawnFumo]

@@Blox117 I said that because in the code on GitHub, it has GPT-4 commented out and GPT-3.5 enabled. But you're right I forgot the video title itself says 4, so maybe they used 4 when filming specifically? It probably does work with 3.5 though, since 3.5 is capable of issuing commands if given enough examples (and they provide four full examples). I tried the prompt without the examples with GPT-4 and it was able to do it correctly, so those are probably there purely for 3.5.

How is it being controlled? Is ChatGPT actually executing the commands? Did you use ChatGPT to program an AI to control it? ...those two are the future of robotics. (Well, ChatGPT and other LLMs anyway).

[@ShawnFumo]

I’m going to guess that this is some sort Toolformer/plug-in thing. Like tell GPT the format of some commands like and and the wrapper app looks for those tags and sends to the robot. The same wrapper probably handles the whisper and eleven labs integration. Just a guess

[@friso2591]

Bi-pedal with wheels is by far the best locomotion for a robot imho. Great design!

[@lindaj5492]

Until they need to go up stairs. BBC had to invent levitating Daleks because they hadn’t thought through the problem of stairs preventing world domination 😅

[@gfixler]

I like how when it stands up, it sounds like robot Owen Wilson quietly saying "Wow."

[@ClaudioBOsorio]

In 130 years from now it will be us the ones shivering.

[@TheMrDRAKEX]

I’ll be satisfied when I see two of these playing with each other around the house.

[@ChamouLuiz]

Imagine this 10 years in the future... Robots will be exactly like what we saw in movies

[@sealofapproval5598]

The robot quivering in fastforward is sending me 😂

[@technocracy90]

To me the most interesting thing is 1:30. It knows the physical condition of itself, can evaluate if it can do the task or not, and redirect the order as it can't. If this is not a sort of custom-made script but purely generated by AI with given information, that's very impressive.

[@technocracy90]

1:04 "My nonexistent vocal cord" but you have the voice synthesizer to say that

[@bowieinc]

Incredible video. I have tried to fully grasp it, but most people I talk to have no idea what’s coming with AI.

[@destho4308]

Such a nice companion, maybe the robot will upgrade someday to have a chance to play video games with humans.

[@yobgodababua1862]

Ok, so everyone is going to talk about the creepy AI responses, but check out the pretty pro fit and finish on that robot! I also love that it takes a standard powertool battery.

[@MakerofCities1144]

This robot is like the beta version of my dream robot companion. I want a snarky, sarcastic robot friend so bad.

[@mikey.1205]

The horrible dystopia you thought was 50 years away? We're currently living in it

[@janpoulsen498]

Sarcasm is definately one of my most desired personality traits of a robot. I’d name it Statler.

[@pioneer_1148]

That's seriously impressive. I figured something like this was possible but I was expecting it to be the kind of thing which required a Boston dynamics - OpenAI collaboration not a hackathon project.

[@dibbidydoo4318]

why would it need that? the robot is far too simple for Boston dynamics.

[@Tubemanjac]

I hope all the comments of admiration will be archived thoroughly because there will come an era when we will curse these creatures that will suppress humanity.

[@thestancehelix]

He is freezing and shivering, you should turn on the heater. 😉

[@Qvartz_Lite]

If that thing ever comes near me, it's getting it's cables pulled until it's singing Ave Maria

[@piotrek5s170]

He just made a smaller GLaDOS with wheels but without the murderous tendencies

[@gilian2587]

... yet...

[@sebastiandefrancesco721]

ROBOT: "What is my porpose?" Guy:"You do push ups!!!" Robot:"............."

[@neoqueto]

This entire video has the soul of Shane from Stuff Made Here and he's not even dead

[@marwaeldiwiny]

Very impressive and brilliant! I cracked the last part and it was on spot!

[@fireheartedtimemanagemente5678]

Boston Dynamics need to add this kind of voice communication to their robots. Imagine Atlas talking like a real dude, similar to this robot.

[@benediktos_13]

Judging by the way it's shaking, it's not thinking, but continuously screaming in his head.
