Building Robots with Crow-Level Tool Use: The Long Road Ahead
Keywords: robot tool-use, affordance model, tool manufacturing
Abstract: Abundant evidence highlights the remarkable tool-using abilities of crows, including their capacity to not only utilize tools but also craft them. Yet, we find ourselves situated on an extensive and challenging journey towards equipping machines with the same tool-use proficiency exhibited by crows. This article sets forth a tool-use framework for robots, offering a potential solution to the complex challenge of integrating tools into a robotic super system. However, it is evident that the realization of the functions outlined within this framework necessitates significant advancements in the domains of planning, learning and applying the affordance model, exploration in decision-making and other aspects of work. This article explores the promising path forward in our quest to imbue robots with crow-like tool-use capabilities.
