A team of researchers at Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, have created a learning technology that gives robots the ability to predict the outcomes of their actions and therefore adjust accordingly. The tech, named 'visual foresight' can predict what cameras will see in the following seconds if they carry out a certain action. Sergey Levine, assistant professor for the University of California, Berkeley likens the ability to how humans interpret their own surroundings, explaining "this method can enable a robot to visualize how different behaviours will affect the world around it".
