Robots Learn to Get a Grip
     


A Wired
article describes the efforts of robotics researchers at Stanford
University, the University of Massachusetts, and the University of
Genoa. All three groups are working or robots that learn to use their
arms and hands by trying and failing, much the way humans do. The
researchers are working with mobile robots that have attached arms and
grippers: Stair
1.0, Stair
2.0, UMan,
and RobotCub. The four robots are
making progress
and, more importantly, teaching the researchers a lot about how the
learning process works.
