A team of roboticists at UC Berkeley and ETH Zurich has achieved a breakthrough in robotics, training two $120 robot arms to clean a spill using generative AI. The robots were programmed in just four days using GPT-4o and visual language models for human-robot interaction. This innovation demonstrates the potential of large language models in transforming robotics. The plans for building these robot arms on a budget are now available on YouTube.
