It's about Rogue Space Systems Corporation's plan to have satellites repairs in space.
I find relevant the idea to bring autonomous robots there, because space, even in low Earth orbit, is pretty much as remote as can anything man-made be.
Daily Inspiration: "The real magic begins once we start to chat with the machines" - Futurist Jim Carroll
In the TV series The Jetsons, the humans regularly talked to the robots.
That future isn't that far away. Watch the video in which the Google DeepMind research group is using ChatGPT-like commands to instruct a robotic arm to use its machine vision to identify and work with a particular object. In this case, it's been asked to identify and lift the extinct animal. It's figured out which animal figure is the extinct one, utilizing its AI-based machine-vision analysis, and proceeds accordingly. Imagine this - the next command could be something as simple as this - "Find the king of the jungle and place it next to the sports item used by LeBron James." Magical!

The full details of this not-too-small achievement can be found on an extensive page that details all the work behind the scenes: "RT-2: Vision-Language-Action Models: Transfer Web Knowledge to Robotic Control."
In other words, we're learning how to use large language models - the tech behind Bard, ChatGPT, and Bing -- to figure out what to do and translate these results into actions that are given to the robots.
The future is magic, and it's not that far away.

Due to travel I've had time to sit down and start working on my large research paper to-read list. The 2 I chose to start with were incredible:
First up is SayCan- using RL to guide LLMs to controlling robots in a complex kitchen environment
https://say-can.github.io/
...then we haveGenerative Agents: Interactive Simulacra of Human Behavior- where authors used LLMs to control multiple agents and had them simulate a small town of unique personalities
https://arxiv.org/abs/2304.03442
While trying to learn more about collision detection works, I came across this masterpiece... A gorgeously elegant algorithm explained in a beautifully-animated video.

had to do some maintenance on our OfficeBot3000 unit (we've nicknamed it Mike). it got stuck in sex mode last night and none of us could figure out how to get it turned off after we had our fun, so now I'm trying to perform a hard reset on it to get it back to standard configs
unit: made by OfficeBot

In this modern era, you need to create an object detector of reasonable FPS for a robot.
Do you still reach for a YOLO variant? Or is there something better / newer I should be eyeing?
The goal is to identify and then estimate location of object for contextual room mapping ("hey, there's an oven in this room. It's probably a kitchen")

WOAH! 🤯 The first autonomous vision-based drone that beats human world champions in head-to-head races.
They use Reinforcement Learning to achieve this groundbreaking mobile #robotics milestone. 🤖
Open access paper in Nature: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-023-06419-4

Cool stuff but also terrifying implications if you see how these FPS drones are right now used in active conflicts.
