Clio allows robots to better interpret tasks, understand their environment, identify objects, and interact with them.  

This breakthrough will enable robots to tackle more complex and non-routine tasks, moving beyond monotonous work.  

Clio could prove beneficial in both industrial production and everyday household tasks and may even assist in future rescue operations.
