This achievement was realized through a combination of natural language processing and machine learning techniques. Spot is a four-legged robot that was designed to operate in complex environments.

Now, the “dog” is able to answer questions in natural language and provide detailed reports on the progress of its mission.
The tool of OpenAI receives a lot of information about a mission and the data that is currently being collected. It analyzes this information and breaks it down into smaller pieces to understand what's most important. This means he can answer questions quickly.
Then, the team uses another tool to transform the responses into voice, so that they can be heard by the user. The team then uses the API Text-to-speech do Google to voice Spot. This advance represents a big step for robotics, which traditionally relied on texts and symbols to communicate.

The CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, shared a thought on his Twitter account about the human-robot relationship: “the arc of technology is towards simplicity. Talking to a computer like we talk to a human being is quite simple. We’ve come a long way from punch cards to natural language, but within the natural language paradigm, we can now only go so far.”
