AI Chips and Chat GPT - IDTechEx Explores AI and Robotics

BOSTON, April 15, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- AI chips can empower the intelligence of robotics, with future potential for smarter and more independent cars and robots. Alongside the uses of Chat GPT and chatting with robots at home, the potential for this technology to enhance working environments and reinvent socializing is promising.

Cars that can judge the difference between people and signposts are becoming more common on the roads, as electric and autonomous vehicles benefit from advancements in AI and robotics. The use of AI chips and advanced sensors can give robot-like qualities to cars, as they can process sensor data locally, and, combined with traffic information from the cloud, they can make their own informed decisions for the safety and benefit of the driver or passenger. Interpreting camera data to identify types of obstructions or hazards can allow cars to make decisions independently of a driver.

Conversing with the car will feel much more natural with the use of AI chips, as they enable more detailed voice recognition, so drivers won't have to memorize specific instructions. Companies like BMW already use this to make more natural-sounding hands-free interaction with the vehicle to input destinations or play music.

AI chips will also help the battery management of the car, considering factors such as temperature, humidity, and usage so the car can maximize the lifespan, range, and performance of its battery.

Working robots

Independent robots are also a fantastic use for AI chips, where AMRs (autonomous mobile robots) and AGVs (automated guided robots) can carry out onboard processing and take on new spatial awareness.

Exploring harsh environments that could potentially be hazardous for humans is a job well-suited to robots. Whether mapping out internal or external structures to knock down or refurbish buildings or carrying out agricultural work, AI chips can help robots identify doorways or obstructions so as not to damage themselves. Their picture storage means they can report back data effectively from remote areas with no data connection.
