"Revolutionizing Robotics: Google DeepMind Unites Researchers to Create ImageNet of Robot Actions and Open-Sources Largest-Ever Dataset"

Google's DeepMind robotics team has collaborated with 33 research institutes to create Open X-Embodiment, a shared database aimed at advancing robotics through the use of a large, diverse dataset. Similar to ImageNet for computer vision, Open X-Embodiment features over 500 skills and 150,000 tasks from 22 different robot types. The database is being made available to the research community to reduce barriers and accelerate research in robot learning, with the goal of enabling robots to learn from each other and researchers to learn from one another.

"DeepMind's RoboCat: The Self-Training AI for General Purpose Robots"

DeepMind has developed a self-training robot named RoboCat that can learn new tasks quickly and improve its performance by constructing its own performance data. The robot fine-tunes its performance on between 100 and 1,000 demonstrations from a human-controlled robotic arm. Through self-training, its success rate doubled. The development is seen as a major step towards accelerating robotics research, "as it reduces the need for human-supervised training, and is an important step towards creating a general-purpose robot."
