An industrial software company that works with Boston Dynamics has created a way to control robots with voice commands using the ChatGPT artificial intelligence app.
Most uses of ChatGPT and similar apps known as generative AI programs have been in creative areas, such as producing articles, artwork, and videos. But software developer Levatas has added ChatGPT and a Google speech-to-text app to the programming for controlling Boston Dynamics’ dog-like robot, Spot.
The fusion allows anyone to query Spot with their voice, asking questions about the work it has done, and give the robot simple commands like “stop” or “back up,” Levatas founder and chief executive Chris Nielsen said in an interview with the Globe.
“Not every employee is trained on how to work with or operate the robots,” he said. “This kind of natural language command allows an everyday industrial worker to pause or stop the robot.”
