The company already has a robot disinfector and a robot sommelier, but they are not like people Sberbank is planning to produce its own humanoid robots, Stanislav Kuznetsov, deputy chairman of the bank’s board of directors, told reporters about this during events dedicated to the opening of the Manzherok resort. He also noted that the company plans to become a leader in this area, despite the fact that Western companies are currently leading in this segment.

Sberbank has its own Robotics Center, whose task is “to create robots and other cyber-physical systems using artificial intelligence to solve the business problems of Sber and its clients.” The bank has already presented a disinfectant robot for automatic disinfection of offices, medical institutions, hotels and other premises, as well as a sommelier robot, which is designed for the presentation and sale of wines. But these robots are not humanoid.

But does not know the founder of the company Boston Dynamics, known for its line of robots, demonstrated with the example of the robot dog Spot what can be achieved by connecting the power of the ChatGPT chatbot. A short demonstration video shows how the robotic dog acts as a tour guide.  [caption id="attachment_76660" align="aligncenter" width="780"] ChatGPT to Boston Dynamics robots[/caption] What happens if you connect ChatGPT to Boston Dynamics robots Software engineer Matt Klingensmith said developing a robot guide was the easiest and fastest way to test the ability of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT to perform tasks beyond the data on which they are based and trained. Essentially, the robot can walk around the company premises, examining objects.  It uses a subtitle model to describe objects in its field of view, further refining its description using LLM. The robot can also answer user questions and even plan its next actions.  https://youtu.be/djzOBZUFzTw The robot can switch between “personalities” with different characteristics, passions, and hobbies. One of them, for example, is passionate about minerals and precious metals, and “Josh” is prone to sarcasm and causticity. The company said: We immediately realized that "bitter" or "sarcastic" personalities worked very well, and we even had the robot go on a Bigfoot hunt around the office. The robotic tour guide can even use “body language,” such as pointing its arm toward the nearest person to explain a concept.  The team encountered several surprises during the development process. For example, when the robot was asked who Marc Raibert (one of the founders and president of Boston Dynamics) was, he replied that he did not know and recommended contacting IT support for further assistance.
