"Pick Place Hotdog Sausage" is such a bizarre name, though. Is it meant to be human readable? AI-readable? Just a label for the researchers? Same with "Put Mushroom Place Pot". As far as I can see both labels are only used in this Magma paper, nowhere else that Google can find.
- ekidd 2y ago"Pick & place" is a term for a kind of robot that can pick up scattered items from a conveyor belt and arrange them in a regular fashion. The really fast multi-arm versions can be hypnotic to watch. You can see an example at 1:00 in this video: https://youtu.be/aPTd8XDZOEk https://youtu.be/aPTd8XDZOEk The limitation of industrial pick & place robots is that they're configured for a single task, and reconfiguring them for a new product is notoriously expensive. Magma's "pick & place" demo is much slower and shakier than a specialized industrial robot. But Magma can apparently be adapted to a new task by providing plain English instructions.
