"Robots may be able to learn how to hit a backhand shot, he explains. They can backhand that ball perfectly again, and again, and again. But if conditions change, say, their opponent moves, or the light changes, it all falls apart."
"It's very difficult to transfer this behavior from humans to robots. Until now, he hopes. Gupta and his colleagues have published a paper in the journal Science Robotics demonstrating a new way of teaching robots to adapt."
"If I could just say 'a little bit of sugar, a bit more creamer,' stuff like that, that would be a dream come true."
A team of scientists in Switzerland is making strides in developing robots capable of performing complex tasks based on human instructions. Traditional robots struggle with adaptability, as they can only execute pre-programmed actions. Robotics scientist Sthithpragya Gupta emphasizes the challenge of teaching robots to adjust to changing conditions, unlike humans. Gupta's team has published research in Science Robotics that showcases a new approach to enable robots to learn and adapt, potentially leading to more helpful and versatile robotic assistants in the future.
