Embodied AI turns perception into authority

Google DeepMind has released a new embodied-reasoning model for robotics, intended to improve spatial reasoning and understanding for machines working in real environments. Better embodied reasoning may help robots interpret gauges, locate objects, understand scenes from multiple views, and plan physical tasks.

That progress narrows the distance between perception and action. It also raises the cost of being confidently wrong.

Technology transition begins when the prototype changes owners

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has transferred an experimental H-60Mx Black Hawk equipped with Sikorsky autonomy technology to the U.S. Army for advanced operational testing. The transition marks the culmination of the Aircrew Labor In-Cockpit Automation System program.

It is a substantial technical milestone. It is also the beginning of a different kind of work: transferring enough knowledge, authority, and learning capacity for a receiving organization to make the capability its own.
