We all know the benefits and conveniences of having home robots. They make our daily lives so much easier. It allows our senior citizens to live much more independently. However, the process of training robots to function safely and effectively in our homes is not easy. Mainly because each house's layouts are uniques. Moreover, we all filled our houses with lots of decorations and furniture in countless layouts and combinations.
A New Way Of Teaching
TRI (Toyota Research Institute ) has come up with a really cool solution for this. They used VR tech to innovate the training of robots.
This new VR training will allow human teachers to see what the robots are seeing in 3D. Then, the teachers could instruct the robot to annotate the surrounding 3D scene; he or she could add in a note on how to handle the situation.
This technology allows the teachers to teach their robots those arbitrary tasks with various types of objects. This way is faster than the normal teaching method of specific functions in a more controlled setting.
