Google To Upgrade Alphabet's 'Helper Robots' With AI Language Capabilities

Alphabet, Google's parent company, is combining two of its most ambitious research projects, robotics and AI language understanding, to create a "helper robot" that can comprehend natural language orders. Alphabet has been working on robots that can perform simple chores such as fetching beverages and cleaning surfaces. The project is still in its early stages, with the robots being slow and reluctant, but have received an upgrade: enhanced language understanding.
