into the more cognitively demanding areas, into reasoning, into context, into planning, all that kind of stuff.
Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ Sergey Levine
And that stuff will be important too.
Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ Sergey Levine
Yeah.
Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ Sergey Levine
Well, that's a very big question.
Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ Sergey Levine
Yeah, let's try to unpack this a little bit.
Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ Sergey Levine
I think there's a lot going on in there.
Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ Sergey Levine
One thing that I would say is a really interesting technical problem, and I think that it's something where we'll see
Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ Sergey Levine
perhaps a lot of really interesting innovation over the next few years is the question of representation for context.
Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ Sergey Levine
So if you imagine the, like some of the examples you gave, like if you have a home robot that's doing something and needs to keep track,
Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ Sergey Levine
As a person, there are certainly some things where you keep track of them very symbolically, like almost in language.
Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ Sergey Levine
Like, you know, I have my checklist.
Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ Sergey Levine
I'm going shopping and I, you know, at least for me, I can like literally visualize in my mind like my checklist.
Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ Sergey Levine
Like, you know, pick up the yogurt, pick up the milk, pick up whatever.
Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ Sergey Levine
And I'm not like picturing the milk shelf with the milk sitting there.
Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ Sergey Levine
I'm just thinking like milk, right?
Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ Sergey Levine
But then there's other things that are much more spatial, almost visual things.
Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ Sergey Levine
When I was trying to get to your studio, I was thinking like, okay, here's what this street looks like.
Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ Sergey Levine
Here's what that street looks like.
Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ Sergey Levine
Here's what I expect the doorway to look like.

So representing your context in the right form that captures what you really need to achieve your goal and otherwise kind of discards all the unnecessary stuff, that's a really important thing.
