Historically, robots excel at performing the identical job, again and again, in the identical situations. This makes them nice at doing jobs which might be a chore for individuals. It additionally means these robots are sometimes rigid items of kit which might be tough to reprogram for a brand new job. In recent times, nonetheless, general-purpose basis fashions, like ChatGPT, have demonstrated how general-purpose fashions skilled on numerous datasets can outperform narrowly tailor-made specialist fashions, even on duties these specialised fashions are particularly designed for. It has left many engineers questioning if the identical transformation can occur in robotics?
At RoboBusiness, Sergey Levine, co-founder of Bodily Intelligence and an affiliate professor at UC Berkeley, will ship a keynote discuss “Constructing Robotic Basis Fashions.” On this presentation, Levine will talk about easy methods to construct basis fashions for end-to-end management of robotic techniques. He may even talk about how the trade can collect massive and numerous datasets for such techniques, and the way these techniques can allow new and thrilling robotic capabilities.
RoboBusiness is scheduled for Oct. 16-17 in Santa Clara, Calif. The occasion will function greater than 60+ audio system, 80+ exhibitors and demonstrations on the expo flooring, 10+ hours of devoted networking time, the Pitchfire Robotics Startup Competitors, and extra. Hundreds of robotics consultants from all over the world will convene on the occasion. Levine’s keynote will happen on the second day of the present at 10 AM.
Bodily Intelligence is a startup launched in 2024. It’s creating basis fashions and studying algorithms to energy the robots of right now and the bodily actuated gadgets of the long run.
Levine brings over a decade of expertise with studying algorithms
Levine obtained a BS and MS in Pc Science from Stanford College in 2009, and a Ph.D. in Pc Science from Stanford College in 2014. He joined the college of the Division of Electrical Engineering and Pc Sciences at UC Berkeley within the fall of 2016.
His work focuses on machine studying for decision-making and management, with an emphasis on deep studying and reinforcement studying algorithms. Functions of his work embrace autonomous robots and automobiles, in addition to pc imaginative and prescient and graphics.
Levine’s analysis consists of creating algorithms for end-to-end coaching of deep neural community insurance policies that mix notion and management, scalable algorithms for inverse reinforcement studying, deep reinforcement studying algorithms, and extra. His work has been featured in lots of widespread press retailers, together with the New York Instances, the BBC, MIT Know-how Evaluate, and Bloomberg Enterprise.
