World Labs co-founder Justin Johnson on how five photos from your phone could teach a robot to work in a room it has never seen: "I think there's a couple different tech trees that people are working on. One is this notion of fully in-context learning. Maybe I've got a robotics foundation model, then I can demonstrate to the robot once how a task should be performed, and that's enough for the robot to figure out that task." "Another version is what we're calling real-to-sim-to-real. Maybe I've got my pre-trained robotics foundation model, but I want to adapt it to this particular environment." "Like this studio... You could come in here and take just a couple casual videos with your phone or a couple images with your phone, use Atlas to reconstruct the space, and now stage all kinds of robotics interactions in this studio space in particular." "Literally you could do it in five minutes. Take five photos, upload it to Atlas, have it generate a simulation, describe in natural language what kind of task you want the robot to do, have an agent go build that simulation for you, RL fine-tune your general purpose robotics foundation model, and now you've got a robot... that's perfectly adapted to this space." @jcjohnss on @MTSlive
