Kind Humanoid Mona, making the chatGPT Moment for robots

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Christoph Kohstoll

Home: United States

THE TALK: I will share my thoughts that went into designing the body of a humanoid robot that reaches human level strength and speed, that is extremely lightweight, and that is highly compliant. I will share my approach on how to leverage LLMs to choose actions. I'd also love to discuss how these new capabilities can help humans in the future. THE PROJECT: At Kind Humanoid we build Intelligent humanoid robots to do the work we don’t do, but should do. We have built a low-cost humanoid robot body with human level motion performance from scratch and we are integrating multimodal LLMs into the humanoid's brain so it can reason about arbitrary tasks. See the prototype in action. Going forward, such an embodied intelligence will allow us to broaden access to health/elderly care, build products in more sustainable ways, and build out the renewable energy system.
