AWS Talk: Tell the Robot What You Want via Agents
AI Engineer · youtube · 2026-08-30
AWS's Sandhya Subramani demonstrates adding an agent layer to robots to enable natural language interaction. The demo features Scout, a Raspberry Pi-powered quadruped running three agents (environment, Telegram, voice) over 4G.
Key concepts:
- The Agent decides what to do, while trained policies decide how to do it.
- Hardware tools can be mounted to agents in 5 lines of code using an open-source AWS framework.
- The robot can answer untrained questions (e.g., "How many people do you see?").
- The robot also acts as a rig for collecting new training data.
