Researchers from the New Jersey Institute of Technology have taught a robot how to use a pair of nunchucks in just a few hours via a more human, intuitive approach. The researchers used an artificial intelligence system called DeepMind that was trained on thousands of videos and games played by children aged between four and eight. First, the teacher explains each step of the trick using an intuitive symbolic flow chart called a Petri net. They then used an approach whereby the teacher first explained the nunchucks trick step by step, using an intuitive symbolic flow chart. The teacher then demonstrated the trick, evaluating his own performance after each attempt. This created data the robot could learn from as well as use for criteria for self-evaluation as it practised.
