A team of robotics researchers at the University of Edinburgh have created an AI-powered robot arm that can serve coffee and perform other tasks.
The robot arm, called Kinova Gen3, has advanced motor skills and is programmed with AI, including GPT-4, to adapt to controlled environments and interact with objects.
In a test, the robot arm successfully made a cup of coffee and decorated a plate with a drawn animal, showcasing its abstract reasoning abilities.
The researchers believe that this advancement in robotics highlights the future where intelligent robots become commonplace for various tasks, including serving coffee in coffee shops.
