Now, A Robot To Do Your Laundry
Out of the 13 or so tasks involved in the laundry problem, the team's system was able to complete more than half of them autonomously and nearly completed the rest -- by far the most effective demonstration of laundering for artificial intelligence (AI) to date, the researches noted.
The framework that Srivastava and his team developed combines several popular planning paradigms that have been developed in the past using complex control structures such as loops and branches and optimises them to run efficiently on modern hardware.
It also incorporates an effective approach for computing plans by learning from examples, rather than through rigid instructions or programmes.
Srivastava presented the robot at the recently concluded Association for Advancement of Artificial Intelligence conference in Austin, Texas.
