MALI: Researchers from the University of Berkeley have built a new type of robot that can behave like a child (at least do things like one.) Called BRETT (Berkeley Robot for the Elimination of Tedious Tasks) uses a smaller amount of pre-programming can adapt to work at environments like medical centers, factories or laboratories.
The advancements made by Berkeley researchers and Robotics Initiative allows the BRETT to adapt to any environment it works. It uses a promising new form of artificial intelligence called deep structured learning.
“What we’re reporting on here is a new approach to empowering a robot to learn,” said Professor Pieter Abbeel in UC Berkeley’s Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences. “The key is that when a robot is faced with something new, we won’t have to reprogram it. The exact same software, which encodes how the robot can learn, was used to allow the robot to learn all the different tasks we gave it.”
