Tell the Robot What You Want — Sandhya Subramani, AWS
Sandhya Subramani from AWS demonstrates Scout, a small robotic crawler running on a Raspberry Pi over a 4G connection.
Instead of training the robot for each specific task, she adds an agent layer on top — an AI agent that can understand natural language and independently decide which already-trained rule to apply. In a demo, she asks the robot how many people it sees, something it was never trained on, and it responds by checking its front camera. The entire setup is connected with just five lines of code from an open AWS framework that already supports approximately 40 different robots.
