There’s a lot of excitement swirling around the potential for various applications, ranging from learning to product design. Google’s DeepMind Robotics researchers are one of a number of teams exploring the space’s potential. In a blog post today, the team is highlighting ongoing research designed to give robotics a better understanding of precisely what it is we humans want out of them. > Traditionally, robots have focused on doing a singular task repeatedly for the course of their life. Single-purpose robots tend to be very good at that one thing, but even they run into difficulty when changes or errors are unintentionally introduced to the proceedings.
