New tool allows anyone to train a robot.

Jennifer Chu | MIT News Teaching a robot new skills used to require coding expertise. But a new generation of robots could potentially learn from just about anyone. Engineers are designing robotic helpers that can “learn from demonstration.” This more natural training strategy enables a person to lead a robot through a task, typically in one of three ways: via remote control, such as operating a joystick to remotely maneuver a robot; by physical…

Anyone Could Teach a Robot: Mit Presents a Training System without Programming

Imagine being able to teach a robot to perform a task without having to write a single line of code. That’s exactly what the new device developed by MIT engineers proposes: a manual interface that allows to train robots intuitively through physical demonstrations. This advance could open the door to a much wider collaboration between humans and machines, even in non-technological environments such as homes or care centers. Three natural ways of …
