Resumen de Robots: just look at me and copy what I do
David Vogt and his colleagues brought an industrial robot arm to the lab. Like a child playing for the first time, the robot--equipped with a Kinect depth camera--observed two experienced humans wearing motion tracking tags as they built a Lego rocket. After just one session, the robot was able to partner with a human to build the rocket. It could also cope with some blocks not being exactly--where it expected to find them. The project, to be presented next month at the International Conference on Humanoid Robots In Cancun, Mexico, is one of several recent examples of teaching robots through human demonstration.
