But Google’s robotics researchers are exploring a way to fix that. They’ve developed a robot that can write its own programming code based on natural language instructions.

Its founders — Daryl Lim, Voon Foo Chong and Yong Shin Leong (pictured) — set out to give factory engineers a no-code interface that turns weeks of robot programming into minutes.

DeepMind has implemented Google Gemini 1.5 Pro to teach a robot to respond to commands and navigate around an office.
