Boston Dynamics, known for its successful robots, has given its four-legged robot dog Spot new skills. In a video released this week, Spot speaks with a British accent and tours the company’s facilities. And he does it all with the help of ChatGPT.
Speakers, voice and ChatGPT doping for Spot the robot dog
Boston Dynamics’ robot dog, known for its interesting movements, has been equipped with speakers and ChatGPT support. It can now listen to the user and generate voice responses. It also uses new sensors to understand its surroundings and answer questions about the people around it.
Spot’s conversational capabilities are intriguing, with ChatGPT support. While this allows him to have natural conversations, it also helps him take on different personalities during the tour. For example, according to the company, he can walk around the office as different personalities, from an archaeologist to a teenager.
The fact that the robot dog has gained voice and ChatGPT support emphasizes that its intended use is expanding every day. Boston Dynamics said that the ability to interact verbally can help robots understand tasks.
However, it is also possible that the four-legged robot, developed for police and military use, can spy with its cameras and interact through speech. This makes many users uncomfortable about both security and the future.
As the worlds of robotics and artificial intelligence intertwine, questions will continue to rise. However, Boston Dynamics underlines that it will not use Spot for military purposes.
