Inspired by Gato: From Text to Robotics

RoboCat draws inspiration from GATO, another AI model developed by DeepMind. GATO possesses the remarkable ability to analyze and respond to text, images, and events. By leveraging this concept, DeepMind’s researchers trained RoboCat on a vast dataset. This comprised images and action data collected from both simulated and real-life robotics environments.

Training the Mighty RoboCat

To train RoboCat, the team at DeepMind gathered 100 – 1,000 demonstrations of various tasks performed by a human-controlled robotic arm. These demonstrations served as the foundation for fine-tuning the model on specific tasks, creating specialized “spin-off” models. Each spin-off model underwent rigorous practice, averaging 10,000 iterations on the respective task.
