Researchers from Carnegie Mellon University and Google DeepMind have collaborated to develop RoboTool, a system leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) to imbue robots with the ability to creatively use tools in tasks involving implicit physical constraints and long-term planning. The system comprises four key components:  Analyzer for interpreting natural language Planner for generating strategies Calculator…

Generative foundational models are a class of artificial intelligence models designed to generate new data that resembles a specific type of input data they were trained on. These models are often employed in various fields, including natural language processing, computer vision, music generation, etc. They learn the underlying patterns and structures from the training data…

Many branches of biology, including ecology, evolutionary biology, and biodiversity, are increasingly turning to digital imagery and computer vision as research tools. Modern technology has greatly improved their capacity to analyze large amounts of images from museums, camera traps, and citizen science platforms. This data can then be used for species delineation, understanding adaptation mechanisms,…
