New generation of robots use machine learning to complete tasks
Advances in machine learning methodology are broadening the potential for making technologies that are more teachable — especially robotics technology. Fulton Schools Assistant Professor Heni Ben Amor leads a research team working on developing robots that can learn on their own. The team is giving robots various goals to achieve, but leaves it to the robots to figure out how to meet those goals. These smarter, self-teaching robots expand the possibilities for how they could aid human endeavors. (This report has aired on news programs of almost 200 CBS News broadcast media affiliates.)
