Austrian engineers have developed an innovative way to teach robots, using imitation of human actions to speed up the mastery of routine tasks. The method clearly demonstrated its effectiveness during an experiment where the robot learned to clean a sink by observing the process through a camera.
During the test, the robot used cameras to track human movements, and the video material was processed by an artificial intelligence system, creating a behavioral model necessary for training the neural network. Thanks to this, the robot learned to accurately reproduce the movements characteristic of performing such a task.
To improve the accuracy of the actions, engineers added a special sponge equipped with sensors that monitor the pressing force. This allowed the robot to better understand how intensively to exert force when cleaning. This approach is compared to mentoring, where an experienced master tells a student how to correctly perform a task.
One robot, trained through imitation, can share its acquired skills with other machines, making this method universal and promising for the future of robotics.
