Willow Garage ’s PR2 golem already eff how tofind its own electrical outlet . Now that it ’s also find out how to generalize actions , it ’s only a affair of fourth dimension before it ’s commix me the perfect highball .
Basically , PR2 has been programmed such that when you teach it how to perform an action — such as pouring a beverage out of a can and into a cup — it will then be able to repeat that military action regardless of the size and relative position of the object imply . This is a huge step forward in robotics development , since it make unnecessary you the trouble of having to programme , in the poured drinkable exemplar , every replacement of can and loving cup sizing . The automaton see on its own how to deal with each unique position . Situations wish , say , two parts whisky , splashing of pop . Hop to it , PR2 ! [ Willow GarageviaBot Junkie ]
