Anyone skeptical about AI’s ability to perform diverse physical tasks should watch this. Physical Intelligence's π₀ model in action: 18 minutes of bimanual robots autonomously handling complex, dexterous chores.

watching robots do chores is the new asmr... kinda therapeutic

It may not be the best right now, but at least it can work 24 hours a day.

This is only the initial version with a small team working for just 8 months. The proof of existence is real. The next couple of years will be crazy exciting for foundation models.

It’s trying to use one heuristic and it fails many times over and over, stuck making no progress. If the heuristic works then yeah it folds nicely.

Corrections and recoveries are an emergent feature of pre-training on a large, diverse dataset.

Looks teleoperated

This looks teleoperated by a child.

I don't understand your point. the robot did a terrible job of folding those clothes.

it's tele operated obviously

@vzhidkovUSA It's all autonomous. The model is fine-tuned with carefully curated high-quality examples of humans operating the robot in the same settings. This induces the desired pattern of movements and dexterity similar to those in the human operated dataset.
