Running, jumping, and flying: welcome to the future of robotics.


Employees at Clear Path Robotics are testing interactions between man and machine. Echo 4-R is a robot that was given the ability to communicate via AI. Using ChatGPT this machine formed a unique sense of self-awareness. Echo 4-R is equipped with sensors that detect the surrounding area. These sensors can be used to prevent the robot from falling off ledges, or cliffs. After being presented with numerous “cliffs” Echo 4-R began to communicate a phobia of cliffs. This is an interesting experiment on how the advancement of AI may be introduced into society with the machines we interact with.
