Inside the robotics laboratory of the Toyota Analysis Institute (TRI) in Cambridge, Massachusetts, a bunch of robots are busy cooking. There may be nothing particular about that; robotic cooks have been round for some time. However these robots are more adept than most, flipping pancakes, slicing greens and making pizzas with ease. The distinction is that as a substitute of being laboriously programmed to hold out their duties, the Cambridge robots have been taught solely a fundamental set of expertise. Utilizing the wonders of artificial intelligence (AI), they shortly improved upon these expertise to turn into much more dexterous.
