UC Berkeley has developed a technique that enables robots to complete tasks like a baby would – by playing with objects and then imagining how to get the task done. This could help self-driving cars, for example, anticipate future events on the road and produce more intelligent robotic assistants in homes.
Robots are Learning to Pick up Objects Like Babies
