Recently, ByteDance's Seed team released its latest robotics research achievement—Robix, a "robot brain" designed to enhance robots' capabilities in reasoning, planning, and flexible interaction.
For a long time, general-purpose robots have struggled with complex, long-horizon tasks due to their reliance on rigid "modular" designs. Robix's core innovation lies in its integrated architecture, seamlessly combining reasoning, task planning, and human-robot interaction into a single end-to-end multimodal model.
According to the report and demo videos, robots equipped with Robix have demonstrated a range of complex interaction capabilities previously difficult to achieve:
While cooking, it can not only prepare ingredients based on a dish name (e.g., "Yuxiang shredded pork") but also proactively notice missing ingredients and ask if they need to be sourced.
When a user changes their mind mid-task, it can immediately stop the current action and flexibly execute new instructions.
When a user casually doodles, it can recognize objects in the drawing and respond naturally with feedback or praise.
And more...
