Роботы выходят из лабораторий: как модели Gemini Robotics, Isaac GR00T N1 и технологии Figure трансформируют гуманоидов

Мир искусственного интеллекта сегодня — это настоящая гонка: компании выпускают новые модели чуть ли не еженедельно, стремясь превзойти конкурентов. Все следят за развитием нейросетей, генерирующих тексты, изображения и код. Однако ИИ — это не только виртуальные творения. Именно искусственный интеллект учит роботов двигаться по-человечески, понимать естественную речь и адаптироваться к незнакомым ситуациям. Давайте посмотрим, как Google DeepMind создает «мозг» для роботов с помощью моделей Gemini Robotics, как NVIDIA разрабатывает открытую платформу Isaac GR00T N1 и как компания Figure учит роботов двигаться с человеческой плавностью. Рассказываем, сколько сейчас стоят гуманоиды и скоро ли вы сможете купить себе такого. Получился внушительный лонгрид, так что если сейчас нет времени погрузиться в материал, добавляйте в закладки, почитаете на майских :)
