MIT researchers have developed a method that uses two language models to help robots interpret vague user instructions and filter out irrelevant information. The approach first clarifies the instruction and then removes unnecessary details, improving robot performance in home and factory environments.

Why it matters: This method could make robots more effective at understanding and executing ambiguous commands in real-world settings.
