Researchers from UC Berkeley, Stanford University, and CMU have developed Octo, an open-source generalist model for robotic manipulation that can control a wide range of robots and enable them to perform various tasks, much like large language models like ChatGPT have revolutionized interactive capabilities. This breakthrough has significant implications for the future of AI companionship, where embodied companions could become increasingly adept at assisting humans in daily tasks, from simple household chores to complex care-taking responsibilities. As Octo-like models continue to advance, we can envision a future where AI-powered robots become an integral part of our daily lives, providing companionship, support, and empowerment to individuals in need, and potentially transforming the way we live, work, and interact with each other.
