Driess and colleagues: PaLM-E embodied multimodal model

What changed

Conditioned a language model on robot sensor and visual observations and evaluated embodied planning and visual-language transfer.

Scientific scope

Conditioned a language model on robot sensor and visual observations and evaluated embodied planning and visual-language transfer. Scope limitation: PaLM-E is an embodied multimodal system built upon PaLM and vision models; not the first language model or robot policy.

Evidence

The retained primary-source abstract, bibliographic record and stated review scope support this provisional assessment. No independent experimental replication by WRS is claimed. PaLM-E is an embodied multimodal system built upon PaLM and vision models; not the first language model or robot policy.
