Microsoft researchers test ChatGPT as a way to instruct robots

Microsoft's autonomous systems and robotics group published work on using ChatGPT to direct robots, mapping a high-level set of functions onto lower-level robot abilities and then describing tasks in natural language. In simulation the model produced code for a drone and for other robotic tasks, and the team released an open-source prompt-sharing platform called PromptCraft. The researchers stressed that a human should check code before it runs on a real robot, especially where safety matters. The work was an early, high-profile sign that people might one day talk to robots rather than program them.
