Boston Dynamics integrates GPT-4 with Spot and discovers emerging capabilities

Posted by in category: robotics/AI

What id really like to see is put the super realistic robot head on Atlas, and equip w/ a super advanced talking LLM, but maybe people arent ready for it yet. Definitely technically possible.


Robotics company Boston Dynamics has integrated OpenAI’s GPT-4 into its Spot robot dog, showcasing its emerging capabilities.

To build the talking and interactive robot dog, Boston Dynamics added a Bluetooth speaker and microphone to Spot’s body, in addition to a camera-equipped arm that serves as its neck and head. Spot’s grasping hand mimics a talking mouth by opening and closing. This gives the robot a form of body language.

For language and image processing, the upgraded Spot uses OpenAI’s latest GPT-4 model, as well as Visual Question Answering (VQA) datasets and OpenAI’s Whisper speech recognition software to enable realistic conversations with humans.
