Large Language Models (LLMs) have become a crucial component in robotic task planning, offering unmatched reasoning and comprehension skills derived from natural language instructions. The paper Large Language Models for Robotics: Opportunities, Challenges, and Perspectives presents a framework using multimodal GPT-4V to enhance robots’ capabilities, particularly for embodied tasks requiring interaction within complex environments.

• LLMs assist robots to execute precise, natural language-based action plans.
• Text-only models face challenges in embodied tasks due to lack of visual perception compatibility.
• The proposed multimodal GPT-4V model combines language instructions with robot visual perceptions.
• Empirical evidence suggests GPT-4V significantly improves robot performance.

This comprehensive study not only explores the potential but also the current limitations, offering insights and a forward-looking perspective on the evolution of embodied intelligence and human-robot-environment interaction. Understanding and expanding upon such integrations could be game-changing for future robotics, artificial intelligence, and human-machine collaboration.
