Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen Alejandro86 for the clue delivery! CTOnews.com, October 27 (Xinhua) Boston Dynamics posted a video on its official YouTube channel a few hours ago demonstrating the "language ability" of Boston Power Robot Dog. In the video, the Boston Power Robot Dog is incarnated as a "tour guide" to show the staff around the facilities of their own company.

The robot dog can currently answer questions, making a sound and opening its mouth at the same time. It is reported that Boston Robot Dogs can now talk because engineers have used ChatGPT's API and some open source large language models to train them. At the same time, engineers equipped the robot dog with loudspeakers and added a text-to-voice function. The robot dog in the video uses a "British accent" to ask employees if they can start the journey and introduce the charging station to be visited.

The robot dog then combines the script with images obtained by hardware such as the camera on its body so that it can get more information about what it sees before it reacts.

What the Boston Robot Dog can achieve this time is not only a "tour guide", but also a poem such as "the generator hums in a joyless room, like my soul." When the staff once asked who the "parents" of the robot dog were, it pointed to the old robot dog on display in the office.

According to previous reports from CTOnews.com, Boston Dynamics robot dogs have demonstrated a variety of skills, including flipping dance, intelligent re-routing, parkour, pouring beer and so on. In December 2020, Hyundai announced the acquisition of Boston Power for $1 billion, making it the parent company of Boston Power.
