Techstination, your destination for gadgets and gear. I’m Fred Fishkin. Building robots with artificial intelligence. We aren’t just talking about the Optimus robots that Elon Musk believes will become very big business for Tesla. Google’s robotics division is making some big advances too. Kevin Roose at the New York Times got a demo recently of how those robots are learning to manipulate objects they had never seen before. He reports the secretive project is giving Google’s robots new ways to problem solve and understand. The latest is named RT-2. That seems to have a familiar ring to it. According to the report…Google has no immediate plans to sell the RT-2 robots….but is talking about how useful they may be eventually around the house, the warehouse, in hospitals and more.
