A team of engineers and researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology is currently developing a humanoid robot that can fly aircraft without needing to modify the cockpit.

A team of engineers and researchers from the Korea Advanced Institute of Science & Technology is currently developing a humanoid robot that can fly aircraft without needing to modify the cockpit. Both artificial intelligence and robotics have made significant strides in recent years, meaning most human jobs could soon be overtaken by technology - on the ground and even in the skies above us.

The robot, dubbed"Pibot," can control its arms and fingers to dextrously operate the flight instruments, even with severe vibration in an aircraft, using high-precision control technology. Its memory is so large that it can memorise all of the Jeppesen aeronautical navigation charts around the world, which is impossible for human pilots, according to the KAIST team.

Thanks to LLM, Pibot is expected to operate error-free flight, being able to react far quicker than its human counterparts in emergency situations. The tailored language model will handle information exclusively about piloting and will be stored in a small computer that can be carried onboard. Pibot can also be plugged into aircraft to directly communicate with them. It’s currently designed to be deployed in extreme situations where human involvement may not be beneficial.
