Researchers at MIT have developed PIGINet (Plans, Images, Goal and Initial facts), a neural network designed to bring task and motion planning to home robotics, reports Brian Heater for Tech Crunch. “The system is largely focused on kitchen-based activities at present. It draws on simulated home environments to build plans that require interactions with various different elements of the environment, like counters, cabinets, the fridge, sinks, etc,” says Heater.
