The latter method, however, so far hasn't been accurate e**ugh for robots to be able to transfer their k**wledge to other robots.*
That's changing, however, thanks to researchers from MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) and a their new teaching method, called C-LEARN. That could have far-reaching consequences by making it easier for **n-programmers to teach robots how to perform certain tasks. Even better, it allows robots to teach other robots how to perform the same tasks.* Read more...
