Researchers at MIT have developed a new method for robots to learn physical tasks more efficiently, similar to how humans acquire new skills. By leveraging large language models (LLMs), these robots can bridge the gap between language instructions and physical actions, enabling them to adapt to new tasks without requiring complete retraining. This advancement moves beyond robots that were previously limited to performing only pre-programmed, fixed tasks. AI
