Unitree robots paint and play chess using GPT-6 without prior training

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Unitree Robotics has developed humanoid robots capable of painting and playing chess without specific training, utilizing OpenAI's GPT-6 model. The company's CEO, Wang Xingxing, stated that these robots can perform complex physical tasks, such as dynamically changing brush water and blending pigments, guided by real-time AI inference. This development addresses what he described as the industry's primary challenge: the mechanical gap, rather than digital reasoning. AI

IMPACT Demonstrates advanced AI capabilities in physical tasks, potentially accelerating the integration of AI into robotics.
