A team of researchers in the US (Brown University, MIT) there has been less progress in perceptual abstraction, which has to do with helping a robot make sense of its pixelated surroundings. They gave a robot called Ana a set of high-level motor skills for manipulating the objects in a room. Once Ana was armed with her learned abstract representation, the researchers asked her to do something that required some planning which Ana executed. According to the researchers, their research provides an important theoretical building block for applying artificial intelligence to robotics… read more. Video
