Spatial Intelligence as Foundation for Robotics

"A lot of intelligence is in how we reason, perceive, understand, and interact with the 3D spatial world." Fei-Fei Li says human intelligence boils down to two buckets—language and spatial—but spatial is the key to unlocking the robotic revolution: "The application is so wide. You can imagine this technology will help our doctors with patients. For example, elderly people living at home using spatial intelligence and assistive technology. We can help assess their health, medical situation, and life-threatening events." "From a geopolitics point of view, this is part of the technology that goes straight into weapons. Whether it's drones or devices. It's also the technology that leads to robotic intelligence because every robot is a moving agent, including your Roomba, which is not very smart." "As a moving agent, just like humans and animals, we use spatial intelligence to move around the world and interact with the world. When this technology is ready, the robotic revolution is going to start." @drfeifei with @StanfordHAI
