enceinte spoken communication models have already proven transformative for robotics . While researchers and companies alike utilize the platform to supercharge robotic learnedness , a dyad of roboticists at UC Berkeley and ETH Zurich challenged themselves by leverage generative AI to put a cheap automaton weapon system to work .

We build a GPT-4o - powered cleaning automaton . – $ 250 for the robot arms – 4 years to buildOpen source is truly democratizing the line of business of robotics.@KasparJanssenpic.twitter.com/DEJECQML0k

Jannik Grothusen and Kaspar Janssen trained a duet of $ 120 robot arms to strip a wasteweir . Using GPT-4o , the robot were programmed in four days , designing a visual speech model for human - robot - interaction ( HRI ) . The motion were trained using roughly 100 demo .

If you ’d like a robot to help clean up at home base , The Robot Studio hasreleased planson YouTube for build the arms on a budget .
