Google can now use LLMs to command robot dogs to walk and run.
Google engineers developed a new method they call SayTap, which they said bridges the gap between a prompt and the precise code that tells a robot dog, or other four-legged robots, where to put its feet down. LLMs generally have a hard time processing such low-level commands given to robots, which usually involve typing in the exact angle for a leg.
Researchers can write a prompt like “back off” and then input a set pattern of numbers that indicate if the legs should be on the ground or lifted up.
