US tech giant Google announced on Wednesday that it had developed robots capable of understanding orders issued in human language and carrying out tasks requested by their owners, such as delivering food or cleaning supplies.
The California-based company shared with EFE a video where these robots are performing small tasks.
The robots are a kind of white cylindrical towers with wheels and a black box on top that gives the appearance of eyes.
The innovative aspect of these robots, according to Google, is that they use artificial intelligence to “think” for themselves, that is, they were not programmed to perform a specific task.
However, they are capable of listening to a human order, interpreting it and executing it, reacting based on the message received.
If the human tells the robot “I’m hungry, can you bring me something to eat?”, the robot automatically analyzes the sentence, contextualizes it and makes a decision to solve the problem, such as bringing the owner a piece of fruit or candy. .
This ability greatly facilitates the interaction between machines and humans and differentiates these robots from other models that perform more advanced tasks.
Some of these are already available on the market, but they only respond to requests for which they were specifically programmed.
