Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ€“ Sergey Levine

That's what makes them so great.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ€“ Sergey Levine

So I don't think that actually...

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ€“ Sergey Levine

Mathematically, this this like highly parallel thing where you're doing perception and proprioception and planning all at the same time is actually actually necessarily needs to look that different from a transfer, although its practical implementation will be different.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ€“ Sergey Levine

And you could imagine that the system will in parallel think about

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ€“ Sergey Levine

okay, here's like my long-term memory, like here's what I've seen, you know, a decade ago.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ€“ Sergey Levine

Here's my short-term kind of spatial stuff.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ€“ Sergey Levine

Here's my semantic stuff.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ€“ Sergey Levine

Here's what I'm seeing now.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ€“ Sergey Levine

Here's what I'm planning.

Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ€“ Sergey Levine

And all of that can be implemented in a way that there's some, you know, very familiar kind of attentional mechanism, but in practice, all running in parallel, maybe at different rates, maybe with the more complex things running slower, the faster reactive stuff running faster.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ€“ Sergey Levine

I think there are a lot of things to this question.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ€“ Sergey Levine

I think certainly there's like a really fascinating systems problem.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ€“ Sergey Levine

I'm by no means a systems expert, but I would imagine that the right architecture in practice, especially if you want an affordable low-cost system, would be to externalize at least part of the thinking.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ€“ Sergey Levine

Uh, you know, you could imagine maybe in the future you'll have a robot that has like, uh, you know, if your internet connection is not very good, the robot is in kind of like a dumber reactive mode.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ€“ Sergey Levine

But if you have a good internet connection, then it can like be a little smarter.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ€“ Sergey Levine

Right.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ€“ Sergey Levine

It's pretty cool.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ€“ Sergey Levine

Um, but I think there is, there are also research and algorithms, things that can help here.

Dwarkesh Podcast
Fully autonomous robots are much closer than you think โ€“ Sergey Levine

Um,

Dwarkesh Podcast

Like figuring out the right representations, concisely representing both your past observations, but also changes in observation, right?
