Here is a framework that allows for expressive motion sequences in humanoid robot, significantly improving their non-verbal communication. This approach relies on LLMs to generate social appropriate gesture motion sequences. Robots will then execute motions via inverse kinematics.

This framework was tested with Fourier GR-1. EMOTION can incorporate human feedback. The researchers generated and evaluated various expressive gestures.

Tesla showcased its robotaxi a few months ago. During the presentation, a robotic cleaning system was also shown. We now have more information about it. This autonomous cleaning robot has a giant arm with various attachments to get rid of dirt in these vehicles. The video shows the robot changing its head to pick up dirt and clean the screen.

This robot can pick up bottles too. It’d be nice to have something like this in our homes!
