All she has to do is see what we’re doing, and doesn’t need specialized personnel to learn tasks.

Instead, software allows the robot named Sabina to be able to learn with the guide of the user, either through a remote control or through voice commands or simply by showing the automaton tasks, as one would teach a toddler. That means anyone can program it without being an expert in robotics.

Sabina can autonomously be taught to perform various tasks, like bringing the user’s favorite drink or some medicine. The learning mechanism is independent to the robot. The idea is to create a program that acquires user information that can be used in different robots and improve to where it can teach a drone or helicopter to do reconnaissance.

To do that, certain sensory capabilities are needed, interpretive programs to represent the observed and software to understand simple voice commands. To complement its learning, Sabina has laser sensors, an Xbox Kinect, which is an open technology that consists of a depth camera that captures 3D information, which allows to identify individuals and their position.

For example, the user can move its arm and the robot will replicate the movement, perceiving body language and thus learning to perform tasks. The voice commands can be in Spanish or English.

    We are getting closer and closer to building robotic dogs.

      Oh yeah, shoot, when I was a kid they made one that sat down and played cymbals after you wound it up.

    First commercialization will be in the sex doll market.

      What’s taking so long for them to develop me a Kate Upton robot?

      • Roctuna April 3rd, 2015 at 08:40

        And what exactly would you teach it?
