The system combines ceiling-mounted cameras with computer vision and large language models (LLMs) to monitor what humans are doing and deciding when to lend a hand. When a person begins an action - say, reaching for papers or chopping vegetables - the AI generates a short text description of the scene and uses it to infer what might happen next. Movement commands are then sent to small, wheeled robotic bases under the objects, which the researchers call "proactive assistants."
