Large language models can help home robots recover from errors without human help

MIT researchers have developed a method to help robots automatically correct mistakes without requiring human intervention. The researchers used large language models (LLMs) to eliminate the need for programmers to label and assign subactions manually. By breaking demonstrations into smaller subsets, the LLMs can identify and label each step of a task, allowing the robot to replan and recover on its own when faced with environmental variations or small disturbances. The system proved successful in a demonstration where a robot was trained to scoop marbles and pour them into a bowl, self-correcting mistakes along the way.
