“Dubbed
Robo Brain, the repository, which robots can access over the
Internet, is designed to let the machines draw on its more than 10
terabytes of data whenever they need it. The knowledge store resides
on Amazon Web Service's public cloud.”
"Instead
of teaching each piece of knowledge to each robot, when a robot goes
out in the real world, it can query the brain and learn how to do
things."
“With
Robo Brain, individual robots, whether it's a robotic arm working on
a factory floor, an autonomous car or a robot assistant helping an
elderly person at home, can draw on this store of information and
learn from what other robots have already learned.”
“In
July, the team of scientists began uploading about 1 billion images,
120,000 YouTube videos and 100 million how-to documents and appliance
manuals. They also uploaded all of the training and information they
already had given the different robots created in their own
individual laboratories.”
“When a
robot learns something, it should feed that experience back into the
repository. That way the brain will grow and hold more and better
knowledge and experiences to pass on to other robots.”
“Robo
Brain is designed to process the images uploaded into it and pick out
the pertinent objects in them. It is learning to recognize objects
and how they are used, along with human language and behavior.”
“Only
the four institutions involved in the work have access to Robo Brain,
though Saxena said he hopes that within six months, that number
should grow to 10. In two years, he hopes 100 institutions and
companies will have access to it.”
