I'm curious about audio models like this — I know there's a lot of excitement about them, but I don't get it yet. Do you find in practice it frequently gives you benefits over doing speech recognition and a text model?

Robot Vision System Learns Task Execution Through Practice
By
–
EES first works w/a vision system that locates & tracks the machine’s surroundings. Then, the algorithm estimates how reliably the robot executes an action & if it should practice more.
