Here's how virtual training translates into real robots.
A new 'parkour algorithm' teaches robodogs in virtual settings first.
The 80s, for instance, brought exciting breakthroughs in learning by demonstration, but a slew of research projects out of schools like CMU, MIT and UC Berkeley point to a future in which robots learn much like their human counterparts. Today at TechCrunch Disrupt's Hardware Stage, the Toyota Research Institute (TRI) is showcasing advancements in research that can teach a robot a new skill quite literally overnight. “It’s remarkable how fast it works," says TRI CEO and Chief Scientist Gill Pratt.
Three new courses teach students the fundamentals of robotic coding, challenge students to build a walking robot and make students think about the ethics of the
UMass Lowell Assistant Professor Reza Ahmadzadeh envisions a future world where robots help people live more comfortably and safely—and he’s working to develop the methods to make such an environment possible. The National Science Foundation recognized the potential of Ahmadzadeh’s perspective and awarded him a faculty early-career development CAREER grant. The nearly $500,000 pays for […]
