Robot Adapting like Animals - [Two Minute Papers]
Károly Zsolnai-Fehér from the Two Minute Papers channel has published a video overview of a paper from 2015 which is introduces an algorithm that allows robots adaptability to damage extremely quickly without needing contingency plans and/or self-diagnosis.
In short, from the original paper:
"Before the robot is deployed, it uses a novel technique to create a detailed map of the space of high-performing behaviours. This map represents the robot’s prior knowledge about what behaviours it can perform and their value.
When the robot is damaged, it uses this prior knowledge to guide a trial-and-error learning algorithm that conducts intelligent experiments to rapidly discover a behaviour that compensates for the damage." [source]
As it can be seen in the video review, they have tested different scenarios in which the robot can be damaged and how it adapts to the situation. As of such, implementing the algorithm will allow for a more effective, robust robots and it could also potentially reveal insights on how animals adapt to injury.
In the nearest future , I see robots everywhere. In banks, in our homes , in the bar. Everywhere human could use their services . That’s the future of {AI} Artificial intelligence. Thanks for the update
wow.new invention. it's great.keep it up.now a days science is improve day by day.
Robotic science is good for social service and for artificial intelligence in interpreting and running some programs, but we should checkmate it usage so that it won't takes over jobs that are meant for we humans
Thank you for sharing this useful information.
Truly, there are some instances that are really dangerous to man but may require actions such as putting out fire or even finding earthquake survivals where this robot can step in.
The robot works when damaged, it finds alternative ways to move around. It forms a map to lean on when damage occurs. This way the robot does not have to relearn even when damaged. It can even move with its elbows.
This is amazing and helpful work.
I hope one day these robots will not decide to choose to do what is best for humans as a result of returning the favour, then round us up and collect our cryptos
Hey man it's been some time since I dropped by.
Usually I put options for using alternate gaits in case if individual limb damage. for example using the functioning 5 legs in scenarios where each limb was individually removed from the both the tripods (only one at a time ).
I have never trained for a robot to walk with damaged limbs on an AI. Frankly the idea never occurred to me. This really is interesting for my work.
I guess you could also do it in a simulated environment
