Pibot robot can steer planes better than human pilots + video

A group of Korean scientists are developing a robot named Pivot There are those who can sit on his seat and take control of the plane without having to manipulate the cockpit. This humanoid robot with its very large memory can even perform better than human pilots.

According to Euronews, researchers and engineers at South Korea’s Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) are working on producing a robot that can guide planes better than humans. “Pibot one Humanoid robot It can fly airplanes by mastering all the controls in the cockpit designed for humans, just like a human pilot.”

This robot is capable of accurate control Arms and fingers It is able to work with different equipment and withstand even strong vibrations inside the plane. Pibot’s memory is so large that it can run out Jepsen Aviation Navigation Charts Remember the whole world. This is impossible for humans.

The Pibot robot flies safer than human pilots

The external cameras of the plane allow the Pibot robot to monitor the current state of the plane, and the internal cameras also enable the management of the switches on the control panel. Pibot can handle complex instructions to natural language Remember and easily adapt to different aircraft.

“Humans can fly a lot of airplanes, but they have to internalize these habits,” says Shim. So when they sit in another plane, they have to go through different evaluations. “Sometimes it’s not easy, because our habits are so ingrained in our minds that we can’t change them easily.”

Scientists say that Pibot can be used thanks to advances in Large language models (LLM) has been obtained, read, understand and memorize the instructions. The team currently uses ChatGPT, but is simultaneously developing its own natural language model so that Pibot can answer questions without relying on the Internet.

This 160 cm and 65 kg robot is still under development, but it is expected to be ready by the end of this year. 2026 come to an end
