It learned those new skills quickly with AI.&nbsp;</p><p>Called Mobile ALOHA (a loose acronym for “a low-cost open-source hardware teleoperation system”), the robot learned to cook shrimp with the help of just 20 human demonstrations and data from other tasks, such as tearing off a paper towel or piece of tape. <br>The Stanford researchers found that AI can help robots acquire transferable skills: training on one task can improve its performance for others</p><p><a href="https://www.technologyreview.com/2024/04/11/1090718/household-robots-ai-data-robotics/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">technologyreview.com/2024/04/1</span><span class="invisible">1/1090718/household-robots-ai-data-robotics/</span></a></p>
