Elon Musk's AI startup company develops robotics

OpenAI, an artificial intelligence research company (AI) founded by billionaire inventor Elon Musk, has launched a new way to teach robots - through a virtual reality (VR) template.

This nonprofit, funded with $ 1 billion, has created a self-learning algorithm to accomplish tasks after human demonstrations once in virtual reality.

In this case, the task of learning robots is to stack colored blocks.

A company has launched a new way to teach robots through stereotypes in virtual reality.

The team used a robot programmed to simulate human behavior in a virtual environment.

"We have developed and implemented a new, one-time model that allows people to communicate how to perform a new task in VR," OpenAI wrote in a blog post on Tuesday. 16/5).

The company explained the algorithm was provided by two neural networks, which are computer systems based on the human brain.

One of the two neural networks is the visual network trained with hundreds of thousands of imaging images with different combinations of light, texture and object.

Algorithms have successfully taught robots to stack blocks for a period of time.

The other network is an imitation network, performing "observing human demonstration, processing to infer intentions of mission and then re-implement".

The results show that the algorithm successfully taught robots to stack blocks for a period of time. OpenAI also said the same technique can be applied to other tasks.
