Covariant, a U.C. Berkeley artificial intelligence spinout, are working to unveil a system that combines the reasoning skills of large language models with the physical dexterity of an advanced robot.
The new model, called RFM-1(Robotics Foundation Model 1), is the result of data collected from Covariant’s Brain AI platform, and aims to power future robots in various sectors including manufacturing, food processing, recycling, agriculture, and the service industry.
RFM-1 provides robots with a human-like ability to reason and understand language, marking a departure from traditional robotic systems that are programmed to perform one job repeatedly.

An OpenAI spinoff has built an AI model that helps robots learn tasks like humans
