"RoboCat: Google and DeepMind's Revolutionary AI for Multi-Robot Operations"

Google's DeepMind has developed an AI agent called RoboCat that can learn to operate different robotic arms and take on different tasks with as little as 100 examples. RoboCat can create its own training data to help sharpen performance and learn new skills within a few hours. The self-improving AI can learn multiple tasks on multiple robotic arms, potentially opening the door to general-purpose robots that could lead to more flexible automation and decreased costs.
