Researchers at MIT have developed an artificial intelligence tool to improve the efficiency of robotic warehouses. The researchers, drawing from their work in moderating traffic congestion, created a deep-learning model that can process information about the warehouse, including robot paths, tasks, and obstacles, to optimize warehouse functionality. By grouping the robots into smaller units, the…
The advancement of natural language processing (NLP) capabilities has been to a large extent, dependent on developing large language models (LLMs). Although these models deliver high performance, they also pose challenges due to their need for immense computational resources and related costs, making them hard to scale up without incurring substantial expenses.
These challenges, therefore, create…
