…reasoning and planning for both its RAM robot for mowing and its Verdie robot used for edging, trimming lawns and bushes, and blowing leaves. To accomplish these tasks ES-1 needs to understand the semantics of the world, create a map that can be used for coverage planning and highlight the edges of the workable area. In this case, trimming, edging or mowing grass are the integral areas. ES1 achieves this through dense prediction of a world state with a single model - similar to ChatGPT for language - but for spatial AI. The robots are designed to be put on…
