A California startup, Covariant, is revolutionizing robotics with AI-powered software, allowing robots to learn from large datasets and communicate in natural language. This technology enables robots to perform diverse tasks, increasing their adaptability and tolerance for randomness. Covariant's RFM technology, developed by former OpenAI researchers, has attracted significant funding and is already being employed in warehouses globally. Despite inherent imperfections, the software's resemblance to ChatGPT enables robots to learn from trial and error, enhancing their capabilities over time.
