Amazon's Tye Brady discusses generative AI, humanoid robots and mobile manipulation at RoboBusiness 2022
Amazon is using generative AI to design new robotic grippers, develop new robotic capabilities, and create new training data for robots.
Amazon's Tye Brady discussed generative AI, humanoid robots and mobile manipulation at RoboBusiness 2022 conference, the conference focused on the future of robotics and artificial intelligence.
Brady is the VP of Technology at Amazon Robotics, and he is responsible for the company's AI and robotics development efforts. He believes that generative AI has the potential to revolutionize the way that robots are designed and operated.
In a recent interview, Brady talked about how Amazon is using generative AI to develop new robotic capabilities. He also discussed the challenges that need to be overcome before generative AI can be widely deployed in the robotics industry.
What is Generative AI?
Generative AI is a type of AI that can create new content, such as text, images, and music. It is a powerful tool that can be used for a variety of purposes.
In the context of robotics, generative AI can be used to design new robots, develop new robotic capabilities, and create new training data for robots.
How is Amazon Using Generative AI?
Amazon is using generative AI in a number of ways. For example, the company is using generative AI to design new robotic grippers that can be used to pick and pack items in warehouses.
Amazon is also using generative AI to develop new robotic capabilities, such as the ability to navigate complex environments and interact with objects in a human-like way.
Finally, Amazon is using generative AI to create new training data for robots. This training data is used to teach robots how to perform new tasks and how to operate in new environments.
Challenges to Overcome
Many challenges need to be overcome before generative AI can be widely deployed in the robotics industry. One challenge is that generative AI models can be computationally expensive to train and deploy.
Another challenge is that generative AI models can be biased, which can lead to robots that are biased in their actions.
Finally, generative AI models are sometimes not able to produce results that are consistent with the desired outcome.
Conclusion
Despite the challenges, Amazon is confident that generative AI has the potential to revolutionize the way that robots are designed and operated.
The company is continuing to invest in generative AI research, and we will likely see more and more Amazon robots using generative AI in the future.
In addition to the above, here are some of the specific ways that Amazon is using generative AI:
Designing new robotic grippers: Amazon is using generative AI to design new robotic grippers that can be used to pick and pack items in warehouses. These grippers are more flexible and adaptable than traditional grippers, and they can be used to handle a wider variety of objects.
Developing new robotic capabilities: Amazon is using generative AI to develop new robotic capabilities, such as the ability to navigate complex environments and interact with objects in a human-like way. These capabilities will allow robots to perform a wider range of tasks in warehouses and other industrial settings.
Creating new training data for robots: Amazon is using generative AI to create new training data for robots. This training data is used to teach robots how to perform new tasks and how to operate in new environments.
This will help robots to learn and adapt more quickly, and it will make them more efficient and effective.
Generative AI has the potential to revolutionize the way that robots are designed and operated. Amazon is one of many companies that are investing in generative AI research.

Peanuts and Crackerjack
Bottom of the ninth inning. The game is tied with two outs, two strikes and a man on second. I tap the bat on home plate. The rigid vibrations it creates reminds my aching digits that this isn't over. The practice swing only adds to the heft of mental burnout... Man on second, willing to chance it. Pitcher eyes him but doesn't give in to the dangerous bluff. I kick up dust, readying the peculiar stance I've had since the days of little league. The bat lays stiff upon my cramping shoulder. Pain has no reason to be acknowledged; it's a fleeting afterthought. The sun sits passed high noon, but the stadium lights are on anyway. They trick my brain into believing they are the cause of this sweltering heat. Sporadic clouds are motionless, they too, don't want to miss this exhilarating predicament. Anticipating the next pitch, intensifying roars from the crowd rumble the stadium... Behind me, the crafty catcher adjusts his stance and spits to the dry dirt. Behind him, the staunch umpire doesn't flinch or even blink; he knows how important his call will be. The pitcher winds up, his grip tells me its gonna curve. The release is fierce! Beads of sweat from his hair and face disperse in every direction as the force of his might is unfailing. My left leg lifts—an instinctual move that will increase the power of my swing. It's all down to my two, bloodshot eyes. They lock onto the speeding, white dot as it instantly becomes the target I intend to destroy. The swing is late, but I manage a solid tip. The ball is taking a fast bounce toward the pitcher who is recovering from the almighty throw! Man on second leaves in a desperate rush! I fling the bat to the side with a sense of urgency and make a mad sprint to the only destination I have—first base. Three defenders race inward to be the first to retrieve the skidding ball. Man is almost on third! I watch the open glove of my adversary, wondering if I’ve done enough to win this race. I switch my attention to his eyes, looking for a clue, some kind of reaction that tells me the ball is in the air and heading his way. All I see is frustration. The deafening roar of the crowd spikes! Something happens that I can’t see! My opponent abandons his post right as my left stride touches the bag. I waste no time turning my head to see the pitcher laying on his stomach, pounding the mound with an open glove. He misses the opportunity to out me and the ball has quickly bounced past him. Excitement grows! This isn’t over yet... It's become an imperative fight to tag out the runner heading homeward. The catcher falls to his knees in obvious despair as he watches my teammate make the run of his life. He knows it’s going to be close when he sees the shortstop fumble the ball a second too long. I jump up and down with no plans on leaving first base. All my chips are on the speed and agility of the active runner. His cleats dig into the dirt, trailing a dust-filled cyclone from the rapid and strenuous strides. With a thrusting dive and an outstretched arm, he lands on his chest to begin the crucial slide to home plate. The shortstop fires the ball to the catcher! It immediately begins closing the gap! Nail-biting doesn't begin to describe the anxious vibe permeating the stadium. The bench begins to celebrate even before he reaches the plate. Forty thousand cheering fans reach maximum crescendo, filling the air with a glorious sound. Everyone knows how this story will end… My teammate is met by the entire bench as his fingers inch across home plate, instantly followed by the unmistakable motion of the catcher's glove attempting to tag him out—its milliseconds too late. The ump swings his arms outward, officially calling him safe.
