Part 4/9:
One fascinating aspect of our conversation was training regarding the robot’s capabilities. Scott explained that if the robot is equipped with a foundational model, it can easily be trained to perform specific tasks in different factory settings. The process of educating the robot on what actions to perform can range from simple demonstration tasks to complex command processes.
He likened this to how electric vehicles navigate routes; they know how to drive but need specific commands for each journey. Similarly, it’s expected that considerable training will be needed for specialized tasks — for example, a robot performing heart surgery would require more extensive training than one performing battery assembly.
