Robot learns how to cook and use tools by watching YouTube videos

[Levina]

Aah!!!
That robot wont make it to India, our recipes and ingredients would be a big turn off for such robots. Lol
Its not easy to master sub-continent style of cooking.

 

[Sugarcane]

Will they have mustaches?

Robots with petaflops performance may be able to cook better Nihari or Biryani than any cook dead or alive.

Indeed it takes a cast iron stomach to handle the Indian Spices!! What do these semi-conductor boxes know

Will they have mustaches?

Thats a must. Mooch nahin to Kuch nahi

A robot-training system that allows artificial intelligence to learn how to carry out tasks such as cooking by "watching" online tuition videos has been developed by scientists.

Researchers from the University of Maryland and NICTA in Australia demonstrated how deep neural networks in computer vision could be used to learn manipulation actions, such as chopping tomatoes.

Findings from the paper, Robot Learning Manipulation Action Plans by 'Watching' Unconstrained Videos from the World Wide Web, will be presented later this month at the 29th annual conference of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI) in Austin, Texas.

"The ability to learn actions from human demonstrations is one of the major challenges for the development of intelligent systems," the researchers wrote in the paper. "Particularly, manipulation actions are very challenging, as there is large variation in the way they can be performed and there are many occlusions.

"Our ultimate goal is to build a self-learning robot that is able to enrich its knowledge about fine grained manipulation actions by 'watching' demo videos."

Fears over advancements in artificial intelligence
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence has led prominent scientists and entrepreneurs to warn mankind could be in danger if such developments are not kept in check.

Last month, theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking stated the human race could be superseded by such technology.

"The primitive forms of artificial intelligence we already have, have proved very useful. But I think the development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race," Hawking said.

"It would take off on its own and redesign itself at an ever increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn't compete, and would be superseded."

Hawking's thoughts echoed the sentiments of Elon Musk, founder and CEO of Tesla and SpaceX. Musk claimed last year that the development of artificial intelligence was akin to "summoning the devil" and could be humanity's "biggest existential threat".

At last we have solved one of the many problems of marriage!!

Not exactly i am a good cook
Wonder why i married

 

[Gufi]

Wonder why i married

tag the wife here she will tell u

 

[T90TankGuy]

tag the wife here she will tell u

Kam umer meh marna nahai hai

 

[Gufi]

Kam umer meh marna nahai hai

robot or wife u got me thinking

 

[Hamartia Antidote]

But can it learn Kung Fu?

 

[thesolar65]

But can it learn Kung Fu?

May be, but it surely can learn the reverse....

What was that dialogue in movie Titanic
Women and Machines don't go together

 

[Levina]

What was that dialogue in movie Titanic
Women and Machines don't go together

hmm?
Did Titanic 've that dialogue??
I'll have to watch that movie again now. Lol.

Not exactly i am a good cook
Wonder why i married

grrrrrrrr
you think men marry women because they need chefs in their kitchens????

 

[anant_s]

I'll have to watch that movie again now. Lol.

Yes watch that part (i guess first half) where Leonardo saves Cate from jumping off the ship's deck.

 

[Hyperion]

My thoughts exactly. Fuc* AI!

Musk claimed last year that the development of artificial intelligence was akin to "summoning the devil" and could be humanity's "biggest existential threat".

 

[Developereo]

artificial intelligence

Sorry, but I remain very skeptical of claims about artificial intelligence.
We have seen way too much hype over the decades which failed to deliver.

Will wait and see...
