Torso replicates the joints and uses artificial muscles to generate movement.</p> <p>The movement is not very fluid at the moment&hellip; but if any of you watched the series Westworld, the video will surely evoke some of the images of what, for now, remains nothing more than science fiction.</p>https://carlesabarca.com/posts/multimodal-ai-autonomous-agents/Wed, 11 Sep 2024 00:00:00 +0000https://carlesabarca.com/posts/multimodal-ai-autonomous-agents/AI is already multimodal and autonomous agents will soon expand across all our devices. The next frontier: giving AI a physical body.<p>The AI revolution started with text (prompts), and quickly expanded to image, sound, music&hellip; AI is already multimodal, and very soon AI-powered autonomous agents will expand into our electronic devices: smartwatches, smartphones, vehicle infotainment systems, and connected appliances.</p> <p>The next frontier? Giving AI a physical body that can interact in the real world. Although years of technological development remain before we reach the robotic imagery of science fiction movies, prototypes already exist that anticipate what could be a future where androids and humans coexist naturally.</p> <p>Here is a video of the Ameca prototype: for now it is not much more than a sophisticated puppet, but Ameca can be connected to an AI model trained for complex tasks.</p>
