Researchers at MIT’s Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) are developing robots that can teach each other learned skills.

The new robot can learn from a demonstration and teach other robots what it knows.

Teaching a robot how to do something is usually done by either programming it to perform a specific task, or demonstrating that task for the robot to observe and imitate. The latter method ...

With demos, robots can’t really apply lessons to other situations or environments, and with motion-planning methods, the teaching is time consuming and labor intensive.

Some robots make people feel like climbing the wall, and other robots climb the walls themselves. Root a new code-teaching robot is the latest in a long line of teaching bots designed to inspire ...

Teaching by demonstration isn't going to replace traditional programming, because robots will still require some degree of common sense to function properly in our uncertain world.

As well as teaching the robot how to fulfill whatever task they’re being sent out to do, there’s an added layer of complexity offered up by the many intricacies of human-robot interaction.

Yes, robots teaching robots. The so-called C-LEARN program developed by the researchers at CSAIL combines prior knowledge with simple instructions around a specific task, provided by a human bot ...

The robots would teach children as young as five years old how to code, with a scaling difficulty that would teach kids new programming concepts as they grew older.

It’s been suggested that an advance party of robots will be needed if humans are ever to settle on other planets. Sent ahead to create conditions favorable for humankind, these robots will need to be ...

The word “trust” pops up a lot in conversations about human-robot interactions. In recent years, it’s crossed an important threshold from the philosophical fodder of sci-fi novels into real ...

Roboticists at the Georgia Institute of Technology are teaching robots how to brace themselves for a fall.
