A short YouTube explainer (LARRUZ, uploaded Nov 7, 2024) describing PI zero, an AI system that can control multiple robot bodies to perform diverse physical tasks. The video reports PI zero learned from watching millions of robot actions across eight different robots and pairs that learned robot-action model with a ChatGPT-like language model so the system understands natural-language instructions. Demonstrated tasks include folding a basket of laundry, cleaning tables, assembling boxes, packing items/envelopes, and robustly recovering when disturbed. The narrator frames the system as a major step toward robots that can think and move like humans.

AI can be humans at chess and generate amazing art, but it still can't fold your laundry for you. Until now, scientists just created PI zero. It's the first AI that can control any robot to do almost any physical task. And it's actually kind of insane. It learned by watching millions of robot actions across eight different robots. But that's not even the most incredible part. They combine this with the same type of AI that powers ChatGPT, giving it the ability to understand what humans want just by asking this. This means you can literally tell the robot what to do. And it'll figure out how to do it, no programming necessary. And the results are pretty mind blowing. It can fold an entire basket of laundry, clean and bust tables, assemble boxes from scratch, pack items and envelopes. But the wildest part, it can recover and adapt when things go wrong, just like a human would. If someone messes with what it's doing, it adjusts and keeps going. This isn't just another robot. It's another step towards robots that can think and move just like we do.
