PIBOT

Why in News:

A team of engineers and researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology (KAIST) is currently developing a humanoid robot named ‘Pibot’ that can fly aircraft without needing to modify the cockpit.

Important Points:

• It is the world’s first humanoid pilot.
• It can fly an aeroplane just like a human pilot by manipulating all the single controls in the cockpit, which is designed for humans.
• The research team says Pibot “understands” and memorises manuals originally written for humans thanks to recent advances in large language models (LLM).
