Text2Robot: Evolutionary Robot Design from Text Descriptions

Project website (paper, code, hardware manual, video): generalroboticslab.com/Text2Ro...
Abstract: Robot design has traditionally been costly and labor-intensive. Despite advancements in automated processes, it remains challenging to navigate a vast design space while producing physically manufacturable robots. We introduce Text2Robot, a framework that converts user text specifications and performance preferences into physical quadrupedal robots. Within minutes, Text2Robot can use text-to-3D models to provide strong initializations of diverse morphologies. Within a day, our geometric processing algorithms and body-control co-optimization produce a walking robot by explicitly considering real-world electronics and manufacturability. Text2Robot enables rapid prototyping and opens new opportunities for robot design with generative models.

Very insightful.

tremendo, tremendous, a step forward to create expected movie-robots hahah, good video

This is awesome ❤ Lately ive been thinking that i wouldn't want a humanoid robot in the house, but would definitely go for a small monkey like robot, like an ai animal companion haha

Humans are monkeys. :-)

They have knees but don't use them at all. Their joints are too big and blocky, making them look awkward instead of cute. Making them bigger leaving the hardware the same size might look better. Overall nice concept, but needs a lot of work still.
