• Stanford’s mobile ALOHA robot learns from humans to cook, clean, do laundry

  Stanford University researchers have introduced Mobile ALOHA, an AI system for training mobile bimanual robots at a fraction of the cost of off-the-shelf solutions. Built on ALOHA, it extends the system to a wheeled base, enabling cost-effective training. With a $32,000 setup, it can learn complex tasks from 50 human demonstrations, showcasing impressive results in cooking and household chores. Leveraging transformers and co-training methods, Mobile ALOHA achieves over 80% success on tasks. Despite its bulkiness, the system, not yet fully autonomous, marks a significant step towards versatile mobile robots in the robotics field.
