Google teaches robots to learn from each other

article_robolearning-970x350

Google has a plan to speed up robotic learning, and it involves getting robots to share their experiences – via the cloud – and collectively improve their capabilities – via deep learning.

Google researchers decided to combine two recent technology advances. The first is cloud robotics, a concept that envisions robots sharing data and skills with each other through an online repository. The other is machine learning, and in particular, the application of deep neural networks to let robots learn for themselves.

They got the robots to pool their experiences to “build a common model of the skill” that, as the researches explain, was better and faster than what they could have achieved on their own.

As robots begin to master the art of learning it’s inevitable that one day they’ll be able to acquire new skills instantly at much, much faster rates than humans have ever been able to.
