Teaching robots to be more human
Danica Kragic Jensfelt and her research group at KTH Royal Institute of Technology are developing robots that learn new tasks on their own, that can understand an object is a cup even though they have never seen anyone drink from it. The aim is for robots of the future to be able to perform tasks as complicated as humans can manage.
Produced by Mediabruket 2016
