Use computer training robot to put into work

When putting a new robot into the work environment, people have to "teach" it tasks that need to be done many times or get the robot to learn everything from scratch. However, this will soon change as recent researchers at the University of Washington have devised a computerized approach to teaching computers, thereby saving mankind time.

The technique is similar to how a teacher and student interact in real life. Researchers now use this method to teach computers how to play Pac-Man and StartCraft. The algorithms are exploited around the computer as the teacher (the machine has learned to play before) when to advise computer students to take an action and when to Students learn by themselves.

This is an essential part of every teacher / student relationship and students will not know what to do if the teacher makes too few suggestions. In addition, students will never really understand what is involved in a task if they simply follow the instructions.

Study Team Leader - Mathew E. Taylor is currently designing a teaching program for "teacher" computers, starting with relatively simple but later tasks that will be more complex. He is also seeking to integrate principles from training into this technology.

Taylor realizes that transmitting data from the brain of a trained robot to a new robot is possible and simple. However, this solution sometimes does not work due to software or hardware conflict. In addition, he hopes that technology can be used not only to allow computers to teach computers but also to allow computers to teach people.
