Where can I order my personal chef? 😋 Can you imagine a robot chef preparing all your favorite foods all day, every day! That would be a slow death by indulgence! 😊
"... But that may soon change. Now, researchers at Stanford University have shown that sophisticated robots don’t require exorbitant budgets.
The Standford engineers devised a wheeled, sophisticated bot that can cook a three-course Cantonese meal. It costs only $32,000 to build (as a prototype) and is powered by artificial intelligence (AI). The robot cooks shrimp, cleans up after itself, and calls an elevator for delivery — all without any human supervision. ..."
From the abstract:
"Imitation learning from human demonstrations has shown impressive performance in robotics. However, most results focus on table-top manipulation, lacking the mobility and dexterity necessary for generally useful tasks. In this work, we develop a system for imitating mobile manipulation tasks that are bimanual and require whole-body control. We first present Mobile ALOHA, a low-cost and whole-body teleoperation system for data collection. It augments the ALOHA system with a mobile base, and a whole-body teleoperation interface. Using data collected with Mobile ALOHA, we then perform supervised behavior cloning and find that co-training with existing static ALOHA datasets boosts performance on mobile manipulation tasks. With 50 demonstrations for each task, co-training can increase success rates by up to 90%, allowing Mobile ALOHA to autonomously complete complex mobile manipulation tasks such as sauteing and serving a piece of shrimp, opening a two-door wall cabinet to store heavy cooking pots, calling and entering an elevator, and lightly rinsing a used pan using a kitchen faucet.
