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

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

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.
