[Google](/topic/google)DeepMind described its release as a “milestone” towards achieving physical AGI (artificial general intelligence), whereby robots have human-level abilities.- Carolina Parada, head of robotics at Google DeepMind, wrote in a blog post detailing the new [AI](/topic/ai)model: “For the first time, our model can now control entire humanoid robots, translating intent into intelligent whole-body control.”
