Like babies and dancers, this robot learns from studying itself

Columbia University has developed an autonomous robot arm capable of learning new motions and adapting to damage simply by watching itself move.

The robot observed a video of itself and then used that data to plan its next actions.

This unique learning process is designed to mimic the way humans adjust certain movements by watching themselves in a mirror.

Teaching robots to learn this way could reduce the need for extensive training in bespoke 3D simulations.

“We humans cannot afford to constantly baby these robots, repair broken parts and adjust performance,” Columbia Professor and paper co-author Hod Lipson said. “Robots need to learn to take care of themselves.”.
