The field of robotics is witnessing significant advancements akin to the AI breakthroughs that made ChatGPT possible. By leveraging techniques like generative AI and reinforcement learning, researchers are empowering robots with the ability to learn new skills and adapt to various environments, even in complex, unpredictable home settings. Notable examples include the PR2 robot and its smaller successor, Stretch, which offer a vision of practical and autonomous home robots that could transform daily living for individuals like Henry Evans, who, after suffering a stroke, found a new level of autonomy with these robotic innovations.
