All of the enabling technologies that I've been talking about is going to make it possible for us in the next several years to see very rapid breakthroughs, surprising breakthroughs in general robotics," he predicted, though he added much more training data would be needed.
Mr Huang carried out a real-time demonstration of the new gaming chip that showed off highly detailed graphics featuring an array of textures and manoeuvres.

It was awesome that they can do this in real time," said Gary Yang, a graduate student in robotics at the California Institute of Technology.
"Previously we'd think of these graphics as pre-rendered."
The new chips will start making their way to consumers starting in late January.
"I thought it was incredible," said Scott Epstein of technology start-up Agenovate AI.
"They are continuing to innovate."
Mr Yang and Mr Epstein were among thousands of people who watched the speech both in person and virtually on the eve of the official opening of CES.
