Heavy industries like chemical plants and offshore rigs depend heavily on humans to inspect dangerous and dirty facilities. These inspections are costly and risky, putting workers in harm’s way. Now, Swiss robot maker ANYbotics and software company SAP are teaming up to change that. They are integrating autonomous robots directly into enterprise systems to make
Robot planners that rely on vision-language models often struggle with complex, long tasks. The main challenge is that natural-language instructions can be ambiguous, especially when specifying actions and locations. To tackle this, researchers developed GroundedPlanBench to test whether models can plan actions and identify where they should happen in real-world scenarios. Introducing Spatially Grounded Planning
