Babies learn by touching things, testing them out, playing around, and watching what adults do. But robots learn only when developers write some lines of code, or when someone manually models a desired movement on the robot. So computer scientists at the University of Washington paired up with the university's developmental psychologists to make teaching baby bots a little more like teaching baby humans. The team published their approach in PLOS One this past month.
Police can strap bombs to robots to thwart bad guys in emergency situations.
The robots still can't operate without the help of an actual server and look to assist employees instead of replacing them.
Apple wanted robots than human labor to perform tasks, but the time proves that the idea was impractical and the consequences were unsatisfactory.
So doesn't anyone think that babies don't learn everything they are taught, but just the part they think is gonna be useful for them?
