Grounding language in robotic affordances

Welcome to ResearchBytes - a series that converts research publications into byte-sized content. In this first episode, we share how Google Research and Everyday Robots worked together to combine some of the latest, cutting-edge research in natural language processing and robotics to help power tomorrow’s helpful, human-centered robots, while simultaneously improving advanced language models like PaLM as they interact with the real world.
