Engineers aim to give robots a bit of common sense when faced with situations that push them off their trained path, so they can self-correct after missteps and carry on with their chores. The team’s method connects robot motion data with the common sense knowledge of large language models, or LLMs.
In an ambitious initiative aimed at advancing internet accessibility for individuals with disabilities, a team of researchers at The Ohio State University has embarked on the groundbreaking development of an artificial intelligence (AI) agent. This innovative agent is designed to navigate and execute intricate tasks across a spectrum of websites through the use of simple and direct language commands. Recognizing the evolving nature of the internet, which has become an integral part of society, the researchers are addressing the challenges posed by its complexity, especially for those with disabilities. The project, led by Yu Su, co-author of the study and an assistant professor of computer science and engineering at Ohio State, seeks to create a more inclusive digital environment by empowering individuals to interact with the vast online landscape effortlessly.
