See Smart Robots Learn to Play Like Human Children

Sept. 2 -- BRETT is a robot that can think. Researchers at UC Berkeley have programmed BRETT to learn on its own, through trial and error, how to accomplish tasks like screwing a cap on a bottle, putting Lego blocks together, and solving a simple puzzle. It’s all made possible by something called a neural network, a type of computer algorithm that is revolutionizing artificial intelligence. (Video by: Alan Jeffries, Justin Beach, Christian Capestany)
