the program is able to do better than a dedicated machine learning program at controlling a robotic Sawyer arm that stacks blocks.
Given that result, it would be possible for the team to focus on robotics. They could make a deal with the Sawyer company to deploy Gato widely as a control for Sawyer arms.
The Sawyer website describes the arm as:
Sawyer is an industrial collaborative robot designed to help out with manufacturing tasks and work alongside humans. You can teach it new tasks by demonstrating what to do using the robot’s own arm.
It could be possible that one of the main use cases for Gato will be learning tasks for those demonstrations. Maybe, verbal instructions can be added to the existing demonstrations.
