A new technique has been proposed by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and other institutions that allows large language models (LLMs) to solve tasks involving natural language, math and data analysis, and symbolic reasoning by generating programs. Known as natural language embedded programs (NLEPs), the approach enables a language model to create…
In today's digital era, the demand for ever-increasing computing power has been overwhelmingly huge, driven primarily by advancements in artificial intelligence. However, the constant innovation in computing technology is facing obstacles, primarily due to the limitations in the shrinking size of transistors used in chips. This imposes a strict limit on Moore's Law and Dennard's…
Researchers from MIT and the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab have developed a language-based navigational strategy for AI robots. The method uses textual descriptions instead of visual information, effectively simplifying the process of robotic navigation. Visual data traditionally requires significant computational capacity and detailed hand-crafted machine-learning models to function effectively. The researchers' approach involves converting a…
MIT researchers have developed a deep-learning model to improve the efficiency of warehouse robots. The team used a neural network architecture to encode features including the robots' paths, tasks, and obstacles in the warehouse. This enabled the model to predict where congestion was most likely to occur and take measures to counteract it.
The groundbreaking method…
MIT researchers have designed an artificial intelligence solution to help robotic warehouses operate more efficiently. Automated warehouses, which employ hundreds of robots to pick and deliver goods, are becoming more commonplace, especially in industries such as e-commerce and automotive production. However, coordinating this robot workforce to avoid collisions, while also maintaining a high operational pace,…
