…end, MARCo uses a chatbot structure to understand quick speech or text inquiries from the user moving around the operating system looking to do activities such as meditation or playing game. For more complex longer-form conversations, such as talk support, MARCo is picking up on certain key words in a larger body of text to identify patterns and classify them into sections, Boyle said. “So, if you were talking for 35 minutes about your day, it’s just not one input, one output,” Boyle said. “It’s aggregating all of the sentences and so forth, and sort of classifying sections of what…

…autonomy. With large language models and existing text- or speech-recognition software, AI could enable workers to control robots through natural language commands. Software could enable operators to interact with, adjust, and supervise machines more quickly and efficiently. In addition, ChatGPT can analyze industrial data and patterns to predict machine failures, allowing maintenance to be done early to prevent and avoid downtime. There are already demonstrations of ChatGPT being used to generate code for robotics and industrial automation. All of this could lead to easier troubleshooting and allow robots to run more effectively on their own, ultimately enabling human workers to…

…entry on a handheld or wearable RF device with speech input and barcode captured by the user’s smart glasses. Productivity gains resulting from eliminating the time spent stopping to read device screens, pausing to handle a scanner, or slowing down to key-enter data or press function keys. This strategy mostly impacts the efficiency of activities performed at the pick-face, saving seconds per pick. Workflow Improvement To achieve additional productivity gains, DCs can make other changes to their current workflow to eliminate wasted time and unproductive steps in the process. In addition to substituting smart glasses and vision recognition for device…

…can consider digital assistants as a translator of human speech to computer speech.” A Richer Mix of Functionality The incorporation of digital assistant technology positions social robots to assume a unique set of roles in the smart home. The development and cultivation of natural language programming algorithms, far-field microphone arrays, echo and noise cancellation, and voice recognition are essential for many of the functions that these robots perform, but one crucial ingredient is missing. Add mobility to the mix, and you have what promises to be a winning combination. According to the ABI Research report “Smart Home Robotics,” articulation and…
