Interesting! I would like to learn more about how AI is being applied to robotics. Do you have any suggestions for how to keep up with developments/ideas in this field?

..and plan to do an updated version soon for much of what's been released since. I've also done work related to LLM and robotics integration, also on that site.
Happy to chat about it.

I love this sentence. And the general attitude of curiosity of your post.
If you want a great overview of what a modern robotics stack would look like with all this, https://ok-robot.github.io/ was really good and will likely make it into the article. It's a VLA combined with existing RL methods to demonstrate multi-tasking robots, and serves as a great glimpes into what a lot of researchers are working on. You won't see these techniques in robots in industrial or commercial settings - we're still too new at this to be reliable or capable enough to deploy these on real tasks.
