Alter3 is the latest GPT-4-powered humanoid robot
What is the name of the humanoid robot developed by researchers?
The name of the humanoid robot developed by researchers at the University of Tokyo and Alternative Machine is Alter3. It is designed to take advantage of large language models (LLMs) such as GPT-4 to perform complicated tasks like taking a selfie or pretending to be a ghost1.
What types of tasks has Alter3 been tested on?
Alter3 has been tested on various tasks, including taking selfies, tossing a ball, playing air guitar, eating popcorn, and mimicking behaviors such as pretending to be a ghost or a snake45. Additionally, it has been tested on scenarios that require elaborate planning of actions and exhibiting emotions like embarrassment and joy.
How does GPT-4 adapt its behavior to Alter3's API?
GPT-4 adapts its behavior to Alter3's API using in-context learning ability. The prompt includes a list of commands and a set of examples that show how each command can be used4. GPT-4 then maps each of the steps to one or more API commands that are sent for execution to the robot.
