Home Robot

Home robots are increasingly researched to assist with household tasks and caregiving, aiming to create affordable, versatile systems capable of adapting to diverse environments and user preferences. Current research focuses on improving robot autonomy through lightweight large language models (LLMs) and vision-language models (VLMs) for task planning and execution, often incorporating interactive learning and human-in-the-loop mechanisms to enhance robustness and personalization. These advancements are significant for improving the efficiency and reliability of home robots, potentially impacting the lives of elderly or disabled individuals and relieving the burden on caregivers.
