AI-powered robot learned to make letters out of Play-Doh on its own

A robotic that discovered to control clay to make letters of the alphabet with none coaching may sooner or later make dumplings for you

A robotic has discovered how you can mould modelling clay into letters that it has by no means seen earlier than. Creating complicated shapes out of doughy supplies is a talent that could possibly be put to make use of sooner or later within the type of a dumpling-making robotic chef.

“Deformable objects are ubiquitous in our every day life,” says Yunzhu Li on the Massachusetts Institute of Expertise. Robots able to gently dealing with such objects may sooner or later prepare dinner, do house responsibilities and even assist take care of aged individuals, he says.

Li and his colleagues educated a robotic to make use of two metallic grippers to mould the approximate shapes …
