Cook according to the recipe the robot will

If you've ever wanted to know how to tie a tie, or modulating a strawberry daiquiri (you don't know), you may choose to log similar to the WikiHow site, according to teaching step by step how-to articles on the site. Surprising is that some of today's robots can do the same thing. cover Kenzo iPhone 6 plus

In Germany, a PR2 robot WikiHow by reading detailed above instruction, learning how to make pan fried pancake and pizza. This is part of the European research project RoboHow, which is a kind of inquiry teaching robots to understand human language, you can make it easier to convey instructions to the robot, and let them figure out how to perform unfamiliar tasks. And program the robot to perform precise movements make them instead, their goal is to allow people to simply tell the robot what to do.

Guiding robot how to content descriptions are translated into concrete action, is a daunting task. This is very simple for ordinary humans, human life in dealing with these things. We don't need to be told how to open the ketchup bottle, or using a spatula flip baked pancakes, as well as using some other kitchen appliances.

Researchers teaching robots behind the RoboHow project, to transform the directive into concrete action the basic knowledge required. So far they have been able to put several WikiHow command above into useful actions, whether in a computer simulation or a real robot will be able to complete.

Because the robots are becoming more common, and the need to work more closely with human, so it is important to implement more functionality. Germany says Michael Beetz, Director of the Institute of artificial intelligence, University of Bremen: "If there is a robot in a factory, you just say, ' pick up the screws, put it into the nut, and tighten ' is OK. You can make a robot based on automatic generation of semantic description of parameters. "

In one set of experiments, researchers guided the PR2 robot to complete a few simple laboratory tasks, such as handling chemicals.

Once the robot has learned how to use a specific set of instructions and need to perform associated tasks, their knowledge will be added to an online database called Open Ease, so others can access and understand the data. These instructions will be able to encode machine readable language, similar to the technology used in the Semantic Web project.

In addition to the robots to understand the semantics of men, the researchers also use other technologies to help robots learn how to perform basic tasks. Includes video of the robot watching a human being to perform these tasks, as well as the study of human wearing glove capable of action tracking, task to generate the data.

For a robot, even simple operations continues to be a serious challenge, but a number of research institutions, including the Amazon is promoting technological development in order to develop better robots. Natural language processing is also very challenging, also has made a lot of progress.

This year, the artificial intelligence technology has been widely discussed, seems to be the Buzzword this year. Although within a short time, are unable to see the real era of artificial intelligence, robots are gradually upgrading the importance of human.

Pepper home emotional robot

Population aging of Japan, Pepper has a very strong market demand: artificial intelligence, able to perceive and control human emotions, learning ability, and has some ability to act, to take care of themselves. For most of the lonely old man is indeed a very good mate, but for the young, Pepper seemed smart enough, doing not much, SBRH may change after that.
