According to ROBOTIS, the robot is built for delicate tasks such as assembling cable harnesses, welding and inspection. The manufacturer sees it as a way to raise productivity and ease labour shortages.
It is not programmed line by line: it is shown the movement. According to the manufacturer, it learns from human demonstrations, then refines its movements through imitation learning and reinforcement learning.
For its hands, ROBOTIS is aiming for 16 to 20 degrees of freedom per hand, mounted on two arms with 7 each. The manufacturer says it wants the robot to handle objects with a precision close to that of a human hand.
The manufacturer says it has released all of the AI Worker's code, simulation models, tutorials, training videos and training data as open source.
