Can We Have Offline AI Robots?

The concept of offline AI robots is becoming increasingly feasible with advancements in on-device AI and robotics technologies. Here's an overview of how offline AI can be integrated into robots and the current state of this technology:

On-Device AI in Robotics

1. Robotic Foundation Models (RFMs):

   • RFMs are similar to large language models but designed for robots. They promise to enhance robots' capabilities beyond specific tasks by allowing them to learn and adapt in various environments.

   • While RFMs are still in their infancy, they have the potential to enable robots to operate more autonomously offline by leveraging local processing capabilities.

2. Offline Programming for Robotics:

   • Tools like Dassault Systèmes' DELMIA offer offline programming capabilities for robotics, allowing for efficient design
